The Lummi boys' basketball team came back in the fourth quarter to defeat Tahola at home in a non-conference game Tuesday, Jan. 15.

"Our fourth quarter was the difference," Lummi coach Jerome Toby said in a phone interview. "We were able to finish strong and as a team we did well closing out the game and clamping down on the defensive end."

Lummi (10-3, 6-1 NL1B) trailed by five points to start the fourth quarter, but only allowed two field goals and outscored Taholah 19-8.

The Blackhawks were led by Joe Brady, who scored 15 points, and Willie Jones, who scored 13 points and had eight rebounds.

Lummi travels to Highland Christian on Friday, Jan. 18, in a Northwest League 1B game.
