Lindsey, who missed Lakewood\u2019s 48-40 loss to Jordan earlier in the season, wasn\u2019t going to let her team lose again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate sitting out,\u201d Lindsey said. \u201cI\u2019m a very competitive person and that really just put me up to want to win this game even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lakewood coach Eric Oswell was happy to see his team gain the lead in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played a horrible first quarter in that first loss,\u201d Oswell said. \u201cYeah, it was a revenge game, but we knew we could play better than we did in the previous game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lakewood (12-10, 6-1) opened the scoring with Laylah Patterson\u2019s free throw two minutes into the game. It continued to build its lead with three minutes left in the quarter thanks to a 3-point shot from Leilah Sieng. A layup from Lindsey gave Lakewood a 10-5 lead going into the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Lindsey helped Lakewood extend its lead in the second, opening the quarter by making two foul shots, and then hitting her first 3-pointer of the game, on a nice pass from Ramsey.<\/p>\n

With Lakewood leading 17-10 midway through the second quarter, Jordan (14-8, 5-2) started chipping away, going on a five-point run to cut the Lakewood lead to 17-15.<\/p>\n

Jah\u2019Asharee Moore followed a rebound putback with a nice catch-and-shoot basket to give Jordan four quick points. Then Moore found Keira Vindel who drew a foul under the basket and made 1 of 2 shots from the line.<\/p>\n

Moore finished the game with 17 points including two 3-pointers to go with seven rebounds and two steals. Keira Vindel had seven points and a block.<\/p>\n

Lakewood extended its lead again 21-15 on two baskets by Lindsey.<\/p>\n

The Lancers went on an 8-0 run in the third quarter with Lindsey continuing to drive the Lakewood offense, making two foul shots, a layup and 3-pointer in the scoring spree for a 29-18 lead.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s Janiah Lorn countered with a 3-popinter with under two minutes left in the third.<\/p>\n

A layup by Sieng in the final minute of the quarter staked Lakewood to a 31-21 lead heading into the fourth.<\/p>\n

Lakewood continued to fend off Jordan for the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, with Laylah Patterson putting back a rebound and Mahlia Simmons making a foul shot for a 34-21 lead.<\/p>\n

Vindel notched four points in the quarter and Moore drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer for Jordan, but it wasn\u2019t enough to overcome Lakewood\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n

Jordan coach Wesley Rosenbaum wants his team to take the loss in stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels heavy right now, but in the grand scheme of things you\u2019ve got to move forward,\u201d Rosenbaum said. \u201cSame thing after a win, you want to feel it and feel great, and after a loss you feel it, learn from it and get back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONG BEACH \u2013 The Lakewood girls basketball team defeated Jordan 34-29 on Friday at Browning High School to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137866,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,5479,17227,2044,131,133,132,137,127],"class_list":["post-137865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-california","tag-high-school-all-sports","tag-high-school-basketball","tag-high-school-sports","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-los-angeles-county","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
