Viewmont

The Vikings extended a six-point lead at the break to a 13-point win, scoring 27 points in the second half.

Mara Mickelson led Viewmont with 12 points while Kristina Gunnell and Aubrey Mulitalo both scored 10 points each. 

“It wasn’t our best game, but anytime you can go on the road and get a win is a good thing,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We did not shoot the ball well, but we had some balanced scoring. We have played a lot of basketball games in the past week and we are dealing with some injuries and sickness. We now have a week to get ready for our tournament at Jordan High School. We are hoping to get everyone healthy and be ready for four games in four days.”

The Vikings improved to 3-3 on the year.

Woods Cross

Woods Cross lost to Syracuse 43-29 Dec. 6, going down four at halftime which ultimately was the losing margin as the teams played even offensively in the second half.

“We played a good team and we played really hard,” said head coach David Simon. “We did struggle with some turnovers, but in the end we still had a chance to win. I was proud of the girls for playing hard. Obviously, we have some things we need to improve on, but this is a hardworking team.”

Georgia Hatton led the Wildcats with a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds while Katie King added 10 points and six boards.

Against Stansbury Dec. 9, Woods Cross dominated the Stallions in a 61-31 win. 

“We got off to a good start at both ends of the court,” Simon said. “It was a really good team win.”

Kenna Cowley put in 14 points to go with her six steals and four assists and Hatton added 10 points and six rebounds in the win.

The Wildcats are 3-1 on the young season.

Against Pleasant Grove Dec. 9, Farmington lost 48-41, scoring just 11 points to start the game – to the Vikings’ 25. And, despite a 30-point second-half showing, it wasn’t enough in the end.
