Woods Cross

Woods Cross lost by 21 points to Bountiful Jan. 18. The Wildcats put up just seven points in the first half and in the second, they managed 16, but couldn’t close the gap in the big loss.

“It was a tough night for us,” said head coach David Simon. “There were some things that we executed really well and others we did not. “We struggled to score most of the night and much of that credit goes to their defense and how they were playing us. We just didn’t respond real well. Now we have a much better idea of what we are up against moving forward in region play.”

Sofia Mokofisi scored 11 points to lead Woods Cross.

Against Northridge Jan. 21, the Wildcats won 36-22. Woods Cross got off to a strong start early, going up 17 to 8 after the first quarter. The game was fairly even the rest of the way to give the Wildcats its first region win.

“We executed really well on the defensive end of the floor,” Simon said. “We had a game plan and the girls did a really good job at following through with the plan. We did just enough offensively to win the game. I was really proud of the girls and the effort they gave to get the win. I think we need to be better offensively to continue to improve and win games,” Simon said.

Georgia Hatton led the team in scoring with 11 points.

Woods Cross is now 9-4 overall and 1-1 in Region 5.
