Lake Stevens 50, Snohomish 46

LAKE STEVENS — The Vikings (1-1) leveraged a strong third quarter to earn their first win of the campaign, taking down the Panthers (0-3) at home. Lake Stevens was able to break a 20-20 halftime tie with a 15-7 third-quarter push, later staving off a late Snohomish comeback in the fourth.

For Snohomish, Junior forward Hudson Smith (15) and Sophomore forward Deyton Wheat (14) combined for 29.

Cascade 51, Lynnwood 47

EVERETT — The Bruins (1-1) earned their first win of the season by downing the Royals (0-2) in a four-quarter battle. After taking a seven-point lead at the half, Cascade spent the final two stanzas holding off a fierce Lynnwood comeback. Cascade Senior Brandon Lagutang led the team with 13 points, hitting crucial free throws in the waning moments to give the Bruins a four-point cushion. Meanwhile, Lynnwood Junior Hosny El-Aarag posted a game-high 15 points in the comeback effort. The win marked Cascade head coach Chris Gordon’s first win against his alma mater in Lynnwood.

Everett Senior Noah Parker contributed a team-high 14 points in the loss.

Arlington 55, Shorewood 33

ARLINGTON — The Eagles (2-0) cruised to a win over the Stormrays (1-2) thanks in part to a well-rounded performance from senior guard Leyton Martin.
