Lake Stevens Viking 6-foot-5 junior Gabe Allinson blocks Snohomish Panther 6-foot-5 sophomore Deyton Wheat under the basket during a Lake Stevens - Snohomish nonconference match up Dec. 5 in Lake Stevens.
The Vikings won 50 - 46 over Snohomish, but the game was not as close as the score might tell. The Vikings’ tough defense often had 4 men under the Snohomish hoop elbowing for rebounds. The Panthers spent the first period making passes in the back court leading to turnovers trailing 11 - 16. They caught up in the second quarter with a 20 - 20 tie at the half. Lake Stevens played strong offense in the third, scoring 15 - 7 and held off a Fourth Period Panther surge with continued strong defense combined with three point baskets to take the game. Panther junior Hudson Smith and teammate Deyton Wheat totaled for 29.
