After a week in which they won two games, the Hazen Highlanders boys basketball team hit a snag this week, dropping two games, including one at Renton High School against the Indians. Meanwhile, Lindbergh picked up two wins to keep their playoff hopes alive.

HAZEN

On Jan. 28, the Highlander boys traveled to Renton to take on intra-district rivals Renton, but the Indians took it to them, besting Hazen 63-39.

No stats were available for the game.

Then, on Jan. 30, league-leading Kennedy Catholic came to Hazen High School and though the game was much closer, the outcome was still the same for the Highlanders as the Lancers beat them 67-55 in a battle of the Seamount’s top two teams.

Hazen is now 14-5 on the year and 10-3 in the Seamount. They play Foster at home on Wednesday in their final regular season game.

LINDBERGH

The Lindbergh Eagles picked up two wins this week to remain solidly in fourth place in the Seamount, which is good enough to make the playoffs.

On Jan. 28 the Eagles traveled to Foster to take on the Bulldogs. Lindbergh jumped out to a quick 16-7 lead after the first quarter and then kept going to take a 34-21 lead into halftime.

The Eagles continued rolling in the third and the teams headed to the fourth with Lindbergh up 51-31, but Foster put up a fight in the final frame, dropping in 20 points, but ultimately falling short as Lindbergh left with a 65-51 win.

Anthony Hill led all scorers with 22 points.

On Jan. 30, the Tyee Totems came to Lindbergh and again the Eagles jumped out to a fast first-quarter lead and then hung on for the win.

Lindbergh went out fast against Tyee, putting up a 20-7 first quarter lead and holding on for a 34-26 score as the teams headed to the half.

A 20-12 third quarter all but sealed the deal for Lindbergh, who came away with a 74-58 win.

Devon Jackson led the Eagles with 16. Darrien Sawyer-Lamb added 15 and Anthony Hill dropped in 14 in the win.

With the two wins, Lindbergh moves to 9-8 on the year and 6-7 in the Seamount. They are presently in fourth place, which would put them in the playoffs, though Evergreen was battling for the same spot.

Lindbergh plays Highline Wednesday at home in their final game of the regular season.

RENTON

The Indians got their week started with a win against Hazen, but then dropped a game at Evergreen.

The Indians beat Hazen 63-39 in a match-up Jan. 28 at Renton. No stats were available for the game.

On Jan. 30, Renton traveled to Evergreen where the upstart Wolverines bested the Indians 52-46.

The two teams battled through the first quarter, with Evergreen coming out ahead 8-7, but in the second the Wolverines took control, dropping in 23 points for a 31-16 halftime lead.

Renton rallied through the second half, winning the third quarter 13-11 and the fourth quarter 17-10, but the Wolverine lead from the second proved too much.

Renton’s Wesley Edwards led all scorers with 16 points in the loss.

Renton is now 9-9 on the year and 8-5 in the Seamount. They are in third place in the league and will make the playoffs.

Renton travels to Foster on Wednesday for their final regular season game of the year.
