High school lacrosse season is drawing to a close, with Davis and Bountiful boys the only teams still involved in state tournaments that will conclude this week (after our Monday press deadline). Here’s how teams fared.

Davis

Second-seeded Davis defeated Copper Hills 19-5 in the second round of the 6A state tournament May 19 after a first-round bye.

“We played a great game from start to finish,” said head coach Dillon Yocom. “Our defense was flying around making plays and getting turnovers. Our offense played great team ball and moved the ball well. Rhett Rice led us with six goals offensively and Ashton Wood did a great job initiating and stacking up the assists.”

Also contributing offensively for the Darts were Connor Johnson (three goals, one assist), Emmett Rice (three goals, one assist), Nick Johnson (two goals, three assists), Carson Smolka (two goals, one assist), Tyler Hoagland (one goal), Jeffrey Sumsion (one goal), Brek Jensen (one goal), Ashton Wood (three assists) and Parker Romney (one assist).

In the quarterfinals against Lone Peak May 22, Davis won 16-15. 

“Lone Peak is a great team and really made us earn everything we got,” Yocom said. “Our boys did a great job, playing physical when they needed to. It wasn’t our best game, but we got the win and are excited to move on to the semifinals. Our face off guys Nick Johnson, Eli Greenway and Jacob Faerber did a great job and gave us a huge advantage. We played good team offense and were once again led by Rhett Rice with a huge game.”

Rice’s six goals and four assists led the Darts while Nick Johnson (four goals), Connor Johnson (two goals, two assists), Eli Greenway (two goals, one assist), Emmett Rice (one goal, one assist), Jake Dowdle (one goal) and Ben Roylance (one assist) also provided offense.

“They were a tough team,” said head coach Lucas Salmon. “We played terribly in the first half of the game, getting down four goals. The boys dug in and fought back to send us into overtime. In overtime, we played aggressive and were lucky enough to get the winning goal.”

In the quarterfinals against top-seeded Olympus May 21, Viewmont lost 15-5. The Vikings were down 10-1 at halftime and struggled to find more offense in the second half in the loss.

Salmon netted three goals and had an assist with other offense coming from Delgado (one goal, one assist), Browning (one goal) and Parley Shupe (one assist).

The loss ended Viewmont’s season with a record of 11-7.
