Lions ready to feast on foes

Battle-tested Lions primed to make noise

By Eric Trent sports@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN — ­ At an early practice of the new 2019-20 season, the Lynden girls basketball players slammed their hands on the floor while playing defense, dove for loose balls and swatted away passes.

This is the culture 13-year coach Rob Adams, the reign-

ing Northwest Conference Coach of the Year, has created.

He preaches that practices should be harder than games.

When asked if that’s truly the case, his three senior captains all answered in unison.

“Practice is harder than games,” said guards Keylie

Hershey, Liv Tjoelker and Ruby VanderHaak together.

“We’re all really intense, our whole team,” Hershey added. “We’re all just super

intense people.”

It’s a strategy that’s worked well for Adams and his voracious Lions, who’ve captured two state titles and eight top-six trophies in the last decade. His 2019-20 team might have the best shot at claiming the Gold Ball since last winning state in 2017.

The trio of returning guards are bold — and for good reason, as they’re among the most decorated in Lions’ history.

Hershey has started 83 games, dating back to her freshman year, while Tjoelker and VanderHaak each have 81 starts under their belt since the start of their sophomore year.

Hershey earned firstteam all-state honors last season while leading the team in scoring with 17.3 points per game.

VanderHaak, a first-team all-Northwest Conference pick, put up 12.3 points per game, while Tjoelker was second-team all-NWC and added 10.2 points and 8.4 rebounds.

The three helped Lynden to an NWC title, a 23-4 record overall and a fourth-place finish at state last season. They’ve helped earn trophies in all three years they’ve been on varsity so far, including the state title in 2017 and sixth place in 2018.

They didn’t do it alone last year, and they won’t be without added firepower this time either.

Gone are just two seniors, while all five starters are back, including junior defensive standout Anna VanderYacht

The rotation will likely look different this year, however, as junior posts Faith Baar (6foot-1) and Maddie Canales (5-foot-9) both return after missing all of last year with injuries.

“We’re actually not all 5-foot-7,” joked Hershey, a reference to the Lions being guard-heavy last year without Baar and Canales.

Now, with some added size, they’re gunning for the top trophy — and they know what it takes to get there.

Hershey, VanderHaak

and Tjoelker were all beat up in practice by the statewinning seniors their freshman year, a senior class that taught them what it takes to win a championship.

They saw how tough it is to actually win, but those seniors taught the three more than just winning.

“The five seniors on that team were amazing,” VanderHaak said.

“They taught us how to be leaders and how to deal with each other.”

It also helps that all three have been playing together

since fourth grade.

“We’ve been doing this since we were little,” Tjoelker said. “We’ve been playing together so long that we’re used to it. We feed off each other.”

Even with all three averaging double-digit points last season, they don’t fight for the ball. They relish each other’s success and feed off it. It’s a connection that carries them through games, VanderHaak said.

It’s that type of selflessness that’s kept Lynden girls’ basketball tradition churning over the years. That, and the competitiveness.

Games are easy for the team, Hershey said. It’s the

- Lynden senior guard Keylie Hershey practices that are difficult, as players go all-out with a must-win attitude, setting the tone for the incoming freshmen. It’s something that’s passed along each year.

team makes us successful every year,” Hershey said.

“We’ve never had a freshman class that didn’t care.

That’s just not something we do in this program.”

Growing up watching past stars like Brandi Benner and Kortney Grattic, who each helped the Lions to state titles, has motivated this year’s seniors.

“We said, ‘We’re going to be them someday,’” Tjoelker said. “We’re here and we’re doing that. It’s the Lynden legacy. Basketball is important to us.”

The trio was confident yet humble heading into their season opener against King’s on Dec. 3 as they begin their quest. It turned out to be a 64-46 victory for the Lynden girls. But, yes, there is pressure, and they feel it, Hershey said. It’s good pressure. It motivates them even more.

Did they ever expect they’d be heading into their senior year as one of the Class 2A favorites?

“It’s expected for us,” Hershey said. “We knew we’d be here. We know why we’re here. A lot of credit goes to coach because he works his butt off for us too.”

For them, their journey only ends one way this year.

“We’re trophy hunting this year,” Tjoelker said.

“We’re eating. One game at a time.”
