“It was a strong team effort,” said assistant coach Brooke Anderson. “The girls are continuing to put in the work together and to earn each win as a team!”

Mara Mickelson scored 24 points while also setting a school record for most three-pointers made in a season with 51.

Mary Carr added 14 points and 7 rebounds with Callie Peterson’s active hands producing four points, five steals and six rebounds. Others providing offense were Kelsey Lindsey (nine points), Kailey Selleneit (four) and Susan Lamb (two).

Woods Cross

Woods Cross defeated Roy 40-36 in overtime Jan. 15. 

“We got off to a pretty good start but then struggled through the second quarter. We were a little flat,” said head coach David Simon. “At halftime the girls were committed to really playing hard. We put a little pressure on them and we were able to get a couple of easy baskets and get us back into the game. We ended up going to overtime and had a really good overtime where we executed well to get the win.”

Ili Crockett’s 11 points and eight rebounds led the way with Kiyomi Tauataina adding 10 points and seven rebounds. Others contributing offensively were Kaylee Abell (six points, 10 rebounds), Adia Cook (eight points), Sophia Burden (three) and Mary Gilbert (two). Lucy Thompson led on the boards with 10 rebounds.

“It was a great team win that we really needed after coming off a week where we lost two games,” Simon said.

Against Northridge Jan. 17, the Wildcats won 50-40, getting up 31-20 by halftime and matching the Knights offensively in the second half to keep the winning margin at double digits.

Cook drained 3 three-pointers and scored 12 points while Tauataina also hit three beyond the arc for nine points. Others scoring in the win were Abell (nine), Crockett (eight) and Thompson and Grace MacArthur (six).

Woods Cross improved to 4-2 in Region 5 and 10-5 this season.

Davis defeated Layton 49-43 Jan. 14. It was a close game through with the Darts up by one point entering the fourth quarter. Davis outscored Layton 18 to 11 to escape with the win.

Kate Willard scored 24 points to lead the Darts with T’Maea Eteuati also in double figures with 11 points. Other offense came from Mari Nichols (eight points), Kiara Zwonitzer (four) and Sydney Plummer (two).

A balanced scoring effort was led by Emilie Figlioli with 10 points, Morgan Rogers eight, Breklyn Archibald seven, Morgan Snell six, Makelle Weber and Katie Myers four and Olive Wayland three.

Against Layton Jan. 17, Farmington picked up its first Region 1 win of the season 54-34. The Phoenix team held the Lancers to single-digit scoring in the first and third quarters which proved to be the difference in the game.

“It was a good win for us,” assistant coach Hillary Noel said. “Our girls started fast and didn’t take their foot off the pedal.”

Archibald made 3 three-pointers, scoring 11 points, with Figlioli (eight), Weber (six), Wayland (five), Myers (four) and Snell (two) also contributing offensively.

Farmington is now 1-2 in Region 1 and 8-7 on the season.
