“We had good energy and the guys showed a commitment to go get the ball off the glass”
Lynden’s boys basketball team made a conscious effort to outrebound Archbishop Murphy in its 62-28 road victory Thursday night.
The Lions tallied 30 rebounds compared to the Wildcats’ 12. Lynden coach Brian Roper said it was something his team can build off of going into league play next week.
“We had good energy and the guys showed a commitment to go get the ball off the glass,” Roper said.
Christian Zamora had a team-high 17 points and James Marsh chipped in 13 points of his own.
