GIRLS’ BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: LC knocks off Class 4A Kentlake
With Avery Dykstra leading the way, Lynden Christian put together a tremendous defensive performance to earn a 43-33 nonleague win over Class 4A Kentlake on Saturday, Dec. 19, at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
Kara Bajema scored a game-high 15 points, and Sam Van Loo posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
“I was proud of how the girls competed and grinded,” Lynden Christian coach Brady Bomber said. “They were a skilled offensive team, and we were really able to take them out of their comfort zone, so that was big.”
The win was Lynden Christian’s sixth straight.
