Hintz

The Lyncs got things started in their home gym by scoring the first two buckets, but the Lions quickly clawed back and took a five-point lead during the first quarter and extended it to a 28-15 lead nearly halfway through the second quarter, thanks to some sharp shooting from junior guard Malachi Koenen.

The Lyncs, however, quickly grabbed the momentum back and when junior guard Dawson Hintz buried a deep three-point shot right before the halftime buzzer, it brought Lynden Christian to within two points of the Lions.

Carrying the momentum with them, the Lyncs stretched their lead out to 10 points after three quarters of play. The Lyncs scored 45 points in the second half, while only allowing 25 points.
