The men’s basketball team went 1-1 with a dominant 84-36 win over Lopez, followed by a convincing 67-23 loss against Lummi the following night.

“Lummi may very well be the best team in the state, together with Tulalip Heritage, whom we will play six-plus times this year,” said Coach Tim Hance. “It’s a great opportunity for our men to play against the best, which, with hard work, persistence, winning attitude and dedication, will make us get better quickly.”
