Matt Lassen and Jimmy Roth have a lot in common.
Both of them are talented 6-foot-5 seniors, both of them will continue their basketball careers in college next season, and both of them have spent most of their high school careers as complementary role players on highly successful Linn-Mar teams.
Their roles have changed this season, however. Now they have to be leaders as the Lions aim for their 10th straight trip to the Class 4A state tournament.
The championship game of the Region 6 girls basketball tournament in Class 5A will be played at Ankeny High School instead of Newton High School on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
The location was changed due to a scheduling conflict at Newton, according to the IGHSAU.
Cedar Rapids Washington, Cedar Rapids Prairie or Linn-Mar will be playing in the Region 6 finals against Waukee or Johnston.
Prairie will host Linn-Mar in the regional quarterfinals on Feb. 13, with the winner facing the Washington Warriors at Washington on Feb. 16. The survivor will advance to the regional finals and try to earn a spot in the state tournament.
DUBUQUE - Linn-Mar's Matt Lassen scored 19 points but Western Dubuque used a late flurry and the No.4 Bobcats pulled away from the Lions for a 61-51 win Saturday in boys basketball at Loras College.
TJ Lake scored 19 points to lead Western Dubuque (17-0). Nick Webber and Brendan McCoy added 13 points apiece.
Jimmy Roth chipped in with 13 points for Linn-Mar (7-8).
Linn-Mar held a 29-26 lead at halftime and the score was tied at 40-40 after three quarters.
Dreyson Robe rolled games of 206 and 266 Friday for a 472 series as the Linn-Mar Lions topped Waterloo West, 3090-3008, in a Mississippi Valley Conference bowling meet at the Cedar Rapids Bowling Center.
The Lions (8-0) had their most consistent performance of the season with all six bowlers finishing with a two-game series of at least 390. Justin Wyant finished second for Linn-Mar with a 412 series.
Jordan Bohannon's older brothers helped the Linn-Mar Lions win state basketball titles before moving onto the collegiate ranks at the Division I level.
If the youngest Bohannon is feeling any pressure to emulate his brothers, he's sure handling it well for a freshman.
Bohannon popped in a career-high 16 points Friday night as Linn-Mar dumped Washington, 58-37, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game at the Washington gym.
