One long road trip paid off in an even longer one for the Shorewood Christian boys basketball team.
The Lions of West Seattle journeyed to WF West High School in Chehalis for state Class 1B regional action Saturday and cut down Oakville by a 66-46 score.

The win earned Shorewood Christian a berth into this week's Elite Eight state tournament in Spokane.

The Lions open with a 2 p.m. Thursday game against Three Rivers Christian.

The state tournament on the other side of the state runs through this coming Saturday.
