Senior forward Brant Heppner got things going early for the Lions as he quickly collected Lynden’s first eight points. The Lions held a slim three-point lead after the first quarter but the Lion defense was just getting started.

The Lions scored 25 points in the third quarter, racing away with the lead. Another heavy scoring performance in the final quarter allowed Lynden to put in its reserves and secure its ticket to state.
Heppner ended the game with a team-high 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the line. Sophomore guard Gordy Bedlington had a double-double with 11 points and 11 assists, and junior forward Ty Jorgenson added nine points and three steals.
