Tuesday night at Lakeside HS was a neighborhood affair with nearby Ingraham in the building for Metro League action.
The visiting Rams took advantage of their length in the defensive side of the floor early as Saxen Mitchell gave the Lions a big challenge in the paint. Mason Lyng drained a three at the first quarter buzzer to give his team a half-dozen lead after one.
However, the Lions responded with a strong second quarter by Max Knight who helped his team take a one point lead in the break 18-17.
Lakeside took control in the third quarter and never looked back. They outscored the Rams 19 to 3 heading into the final quarter thanks to contributions from Knight and sophomore Robert Breyer.
Despite a valiant effort to climb back in the ballgame from Ben Sutton who scored 9 tough points in the fourth frame, it wasn’t enough to cut into the Lakeside lead. When the dust settled, the home Lions walked away victorious.

Lakeside 62, Ingraham 40.
