Lummi Nation 69, Tulalip Heritage 63
There was a lot on the line for the Blackhawks.
Revenge, after falling to the Hawks 68-63 on the road on two weeks ago. Pride, going against the RPI’s top-ranked 1B team in the state, and of course, a league championship.
It wasn’t easy, as Lummi Nation found itself down by double-digits after one quarter of play, but a hot-shooting second quarter gave the Blackhawks a two-point lead at the half.
Lummi Nation extended it’s lead to double-digits heading into the fourth quarter, and withstood a strong Eagle comeback to secure the win in front of a huge home crowd.
Junior point guard Jerome Toby poured in 28 points, which toped his previous season-high of 24 points which he accomplished three times earlier in the season.
Sophomore guard Landon LaFontaine finished with 14 points, and senior guard Karson Revey added 11 points.

Meridian 72, Mount Vernon 55
The Trojans got off to a fast start, especially from the outside, and drained six three pointers over the first eight minutes of the game to grab a 27-18 advantage.
The Bulldogs tightened the gap to just three points by the half, but a 20-9 surge by Meridian in the third allowed the Trojans to pull away and pick up the win on the road.
It was the usual suspects as senior forward Talon Jenkins had 20 points, and senior guard Jaeger Fyfe finished with 19 points, but Meridian was also keyed by the career-high 19 points from sophomore guard Pierce Brzozowski.
