The winning basket brought Steen (11 points) into double figures, while junior Caleb Greeland led the way for Lakewood with 20 points. The Cougars held a 31-25 lead at halftime, but Mount Vernon — led by seniors Baron Dorsey Brown (13 points) and Michael Johnson (12 points) — made a second-half push to bring it down to the wire.

Lakewood has a quick turnaround to face Marysville Getchell on Wednesday evening.
