• Whatcom knocks Lane men out of NWAACC tournament -The Eugene Register Guard: March 1, 2008
  KENNEWICK, Wash. — Zach Henifin scored 32 points to lead Whatcom Community College to a 81-75 consolation victory over Lane that knocked the Titans out of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges men’s basketball tournament Friday. Dominique Watson had 23 points and Stephen Christensen added 10 for the Titans, who ended their season 16-15.
• Whatcom Orcas 81, Lane Titans 76 -The NWAACC'S: February 29, 2008
  The game started poorly for the Titans. Whatcom came out strong, scoring ten unanswered points before Lane finally came on the board five and half minutes in with a two point shot. The Titans spent the next ten minutes redeeming their earlier play, tying the game on an aggressive slam dunk by Dominique Watson and taking the lead for the first time in the game with five minutes to go in the first half after a baseline score by Kyle Winkler. Going into halftime, Whatcom scored a last second three to tie the game 38-38. The second half was a battle of the baskets, resulting in a Whatcom lead by two with seven minutes to play. The fiercely aggressive game resulted in a knock against the basket that jarred the shot clock. Despite a valiant attempt at a temporary fix by a high-climbing game attendee, a more permanent solution was required and game play was suspended for ten minutes while the shot clock was re attached. The teams took the time to refocus and Whatcom came out scoring, driving the lead to 7. Lane fought back, bringing the score within three before Whatcom dragged it back out to 7. With under a minute and a half to play, Aric Wright scored a three to give the Titans hope with a score of 73-70. However, a series of forced fouls again extended the Orca lead, this time to 76-70. With 30 seconds on the clock, Wright stepped up to the plate, sinking a three and once more reducing the lead to three, 76-73. Despite Whatcom'Lane s attempts to play keep away, they were quickly fouled and Zac Andrus came up to the line, scoring on the first free throw. The second rolled around the hoop before rolling off. Whatcom won the battle of the boards, and again took to the line, where solid free throw shooting let them keep and extend their lead in the last seconds of the game. Lane's leading scorers were Dominique Watson with 23 points and Stephen Christensen with 10. Whatcom owes much of its success to Zach Henifin who was perfect on his 10 free throw attempts and 9/13 from field goal range for a total of 32 points. Zac Andus also added 17 points to the score. Whatcom wins 81-75 and will take on Big Bend tomorrow at 10 a.m.
• Lower Columbia 74 Lane 61 -The NWAACC'S: February 28, 2008
  West #1 seed Lower Columbia (14-2, 22-7) got a quick lead and steadily built on it over the course of the game. Lane (7-7, 16-14) kept the game close and only trailed the Red Devils by three at the half 31-28. Lower Columbia turned up the gas in the second period and increased the margin to 16 at one point and sailed to a 74-61 win. Marice Tolliver led the Red Devils in scoring with 18 and Alex king and Robert Edwards combined for 22 more. Tolliver also paced the team in rebounds with nine and blocks with three. Robert Edwards dished out four assists. Dominique Watson was the game's high scorer with 19 and Brent Jones and Travon Mouton chipped in another 21 for the Titans. Watson also led in rebounds with nine and him and three steals. The win sends Lower Columbia into tomorrow's 6pm game against Yakima Valley while Lane will attempt to stay alive against Whatcom in a must win game for both clubs at 12pm.
