MOUNT VERNON — The Hurricanes' Davis Fogle equaled his career-high with 23 points. The eighth-grader's night included three 3-pointers.
Mount Vernon Christian (6-5) had a lead in the third quarter when Lummi went to a full-court press. That led to turnovers and easy Lummi baskets.
"It was a hard fought game and we are just not quite there yet," Mount Vernon Christian coach Pat Russell said. "We need to learn how to value the ball late in games to stay close and give us a fighting chance."
The Hurricanes' Julian Pedrosa had eight points and Ben Rozema seven.
