The Lakeside Lions came tearing into Tuesday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 23.8 points) and they left with even more momentum. They strolled past Roosevelt with points to spare, taking the game 63-46. Given Lakeside's advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked fifth, while Roosevelt is ranked 54th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
When it comes to explaining why Roosevelt lost, one person who can't be blamed is Clara Swanson. Despite the final result, she scored ten points along with six rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Swanson has scored all season. Jasmine Hall was another key contributor, scoring nine points.
Roosevelt's lineup was just a bit different on Tuesday as Lucia Tseng got a bit more time on the court (15 vs. her season average of 6.92). Tseng made the most of the opportunity, scoring six points. A few more games like that and she might be seeing even more time going forward.
Lakeside's win bumped their record up to 16-2. As for Roosevelt, they have not been sharp recently as the team has lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 13-13 record this season.
