Viewmont

Viewmont beat Northridge 61-53 Jan. 17, coming back from an 11-point halftime deficit to score 43 second-half points and flip the script to pull out the win.

“This was really a tale of two halves,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We only scored 18 points the first half, getting down by as many as 15 points. In the second half, we came out with more energy and a better mindset to do some little things that we didn’t do in the first half.”

Mary Carr’s 16 points were tops for the Vikings while Aubrey Mulitalo (13 points), Callie Peterson (12), Kristina Gunnell (12), Mara Mickelson (six) and Karissa Goff (two). Peterson grabbed eight rebounds to lead on the glass.

Against Bonneville Jan. 19, Viewmont won 57-26. The Vikings were up 43-11 at halftime and, despite being outscored by the Lakers in the second half, the game was well in hand.

“We held them to single-digit points in each quarter,” said Gardner. “We also had nine players score points and everyone that dressed varsity was able to play which is always fun.”

Carr’s 14 points and eight rebounds led Viewmont with Mulitalo also adding 14 as well as Mickelson (eight points), Gunnell (seven), Peterson (four), Cayla Stout (three), Goff (three), Kailey Selleneit (two) and Kelsey Lindsey (two).

The Vikings are now 10-5 this season and 5-1 in Region 5.

Woods Cross defeated Roy 50-35 Jan. 17, turning a five-point lead at the break into a 17-point advantage heading into the final quarter.

“We finally put a few things together for this game,” said head coach David Simon. “We shared the ball, we made some shots, we took care of the ball and found the open girl for good shots. We played well together and as a team in this game.”

Mari Nichols had 21 points to lead the Wildcats with Katie King (12 points), Kiyomi Tauataina (10), Grace MacArthur (three), Lucy Thompson (two), Ili Crockett (one) and Mersadie Carroll (one) also scoring. Nichols, King and Tauataina also combined for 19 rebounds.

“It has taken some time, but we have worked hard to figure a few things out,” Simon said. “We will need to get better, but I feel like this game was a step in the right direction. The challenge now will be to continue to improve and move in the same direction.”

Against Northridge Jan. 19, Woods Cross won 64-37. In a back-and forth-game early – and with a one-point halftime advantage – the Wildcats scored 39 second-half points to run away with the game.
