On Valentine's Day, the Boys Freshman Basketball team played a game that was impossible not to love, as the Eagles defeated South Lyon on a buzzer-beating 30-foot three-point basket.

The team jumped out to a blazing start, scoring often and securing a lead going into the 2nd quarter.  Despite losing a player to injury, Lakeland maintained its lead at halftime. In the second half, numerous players off the bench contributed great minutes, responding to challenge after challenge put forth by the visiting team.  South Lyon was aggressive at the end and scraped back to take the lead with 3.4 seconds left.

Cue Jacob Sorvari, who after being spotted by Landon Johns on a crucial inbounds pass, covered half the court in 3 seconds and launched the game-winning shot the went through the net right after the buzzer.  The excitement and energy afterwards was electric. It was a finish that the players who worked so hard through the game deserved.

Sorvari led the team with 23 points.  Austin Porcasi (11 points) and Dylan Perinoff (10 points) also reached double-digits.  Booker Ostach, Adam Ballard, Connor Thompson, and Kaden Eller provided a huge boost off the bench.

The team returns to action with games Monday and Tuesday next week.
