The LCA Lions would be in a tightly contested match-up throughout the first half before grabbing the 10 point lead, 31-21. Lakeview would continue where they left off from at halftime, outscoring the Bulldogs 49-32 throughout the second half en route to grabbing their first victory of the season, 80-54.

In the big win for the Lions, a familiar name would lead the way as Bjorn Broman would post a impressive 47 points. Also helping the Lions would be Josh Klun and Alec Johnson each tagged on 6, Sam Easty added 5, Mark Chiu, Ben Erickson, and Jack Norman would all pitch in 4 points Josh Emerson added 2, and Blayne Nebel rounded it out with 1.
