Marcus Maryott hit a 15-foot jumper with 0.7 seconds left as the Lumberjacks finished the 2A GSHL regular season with a win.
Matt Gospe tied it for Hockinson with a tip-in basket with seven seconds to play.
Gospe scored a team-high 19 points. Ry Paulsen had 10 points and Ryder Poverud added eight for Hockinson (4-16, 1-11).
Hockinson coach Many Melo praised the effort of those three players.
“They all hit big shots,” he said. “They led us the whole game with offense, passing and defense.”
