Bonney Lake battled the Lions in each quarter with four Panthers scoring in double figures.

“The kids worked very hard on both teams,” coach John Hofstrand said. “It was a fun game to be part of and I appreciated the way the kids played.”

Nathan Braun and Chad Marquez each scored 16 points. Riley Baltazar dropped in 12 and Petey Peterson hit for 10.

Kyle Bobbit scored seven and Hunter Colegrove added two.
