Lynden Christian tops Ferndale by 40 points in girls basketball
Lynden Christian scored 51 points in the second half to run away with a 78-38 Northwest Conference win over visiting Ferndale on Tuesday.
The Lyncs’ Isabela Hernandez had a game-high 15 points, all in the second half. Riley Dykstra also struck from the wing with 12 of her 14 points in the last two quarters.
“The girls did a nice job offensively of making the extra pass,” coach Brady Bomber said. “We found some holes in their zone due to our length and we got out in transition.”
Gabby Edison led Ferndale with 12 points.
Blaine 51, Bellingham 25 – Both teams were playing the second game of a back-to-back, but visiting Blaine triumphed over a depleted Bellingham team. “We lack offensive weapons to begin with, but when our offensive weapons are out, it’s tough,” said Bellingham coach Mark Wright, whose team made only 1 of 11 free throws.
Squalicum 35, Marsyville-Pilchuck 31 – The Storm beat the host Tomahawks in a nonleague game.
Lynden 55, Arlington 36 – Faith Dutt had 12 points and seven rebounds in just 14 minutes to help the visiting Lions to a win. Lynden made 20 of 46 shots and finished with 28 rebounds and 10 assists. Arlington was 8 for 32 from the field and committed 25 turnovers compared to Lynden’s 16.
