SHERIDAN --- Jayden Forrest released the ball at the top of his form as a Hot Springs Lakeside defender attempted to challenge his shot. Forrest, who had already hit a pair of three-pointers in this game, wasted little time pulling the trigger on this shot from bonus range. As the Marion junior guard's shot whispered through the net, Forrest got back on defense to wild applause. It was that type of night for Forrest and his Marion teammates, which rolled past Lakeside 65-41 in the first round of the Class 5A state basketball tournament at Yellowjacket Arena in Sheridan.
