Farmington

Farmington narrowly beat Olympus 45-42 Nov. 22 in a “back and forth” game, according to head coach Van Price. The Titans held a one-point edge at halftime before the Phoenix squad battled back to lead by four entering the final quarter.

“Late in the third quarter, we took the biggest lead in the game which was six points and we held on with great defense,” Price said. 

Marissa Marchant and Mele Fiefia both scored 10 points for Farmington while Whitney Avei had eight points as well as seven steals. Marchant also led on the boards with eight rebounds.

Bountiful

The fifth-ranked Bountiful squad defeated Roy 54-12 Nov. 22. The Redhawks were led by the Harvey sisters with Taylor scoring 16 and Jordyn adding 13.

“We played a lot of girls and were just happy to get a win,” said head coach Joel Burton.

Viewmont

Viewmont lost to Lehi 52-40 Nov. 22. The Pioneers jumped out to a 14-8 lead after one quarter and the Vikings closed the gap slightly by the break. But, they were outscored 27 to 19 in the second half in the 12-point loss.

“The game was competitive for about 30 minutes,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We got off to a rough start, turning the ball over at a high percentage. We battled back during the second and third quarters. We had cut the lead to four points several times through the third and even into the fourth. Ultimately, we ran out of time and tried fouling at the end to see if they would miss some free throws. Lehi is a very fundamentally sound team. We turned the ball over way too many times to beat a good team like them. Credit to Lehi for their defensive effort and execution down the stretch.”

Emma Mulitalo led the team in scoring with 13 points while Mara Mickelson had 11. The pair combined for five 3-pointers with Mulitalo and Addie Welsh grabbing five rebounds each.

“We had good effort throughout the game,” Gardner said. “Our girls played hard and that was awesome to see for our first game. We will learn from our mistakes and continue to get better.”

Woods Cross

Woods Cross defeated Layton 53-49 Nov. 22. The Wildcats and Lancers were even after the first and second quarters, but Woods Cross came out strong in the third quarter and went up by six entering the fourth and closed out the four-point win.

“I was very happy with our effort. I felt like our energy to start the game was really good,” said head coach David Simon. “It was a good start to the year for us. We did some really good things and then definitely some things that we need work on. The contributions by all the other girls was really good as well. We have girls that know their roles and are very much about the success of the team.”

Katie King and Georgia Hatton both scored 19 points to lead the Wildcats to the win.
