KENNEWICK -- One of the keys to success isn't necessarily how many points you score on a given night, but how you respond to adversity.
The Kennewick boys basketball team responded well Saturday night to several different situations at the Lions Den, recording a 75-61 victory over Sunnyside to move into sole possession of second place in the CBBN 3A.
The Lions (11-3, 6-2) had to wonder how all the ice and snow -- and three full days away from the gym -- would affect their rhythm. They got their answer when Bryce Leavitt and Reggie Clinton combined for 45 points, punishing a Grizzlies team that beat them by a point in mid-December in Sunnyside.
