Lions defeat Lutie by 50

The Bakersfield Lions, coming off a consolation win in the Mountain Grove Tournament last week when they lost to Salem in the first round before beating Dora and Ava, defended their home court Monday night against the Lutie Indians.
The Indians couldn't get things going against the focused Lions' squad and were blown out 88-38.
Wyatt Summers came up big for Bakersfield with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the team.
It was a total team effort though for Bakersfield as nearly every player in uniform scored in the blowout win.
