Farmington

No. 14 Farmington lost to third-seeded Westlake 52-29 Feb. 20 in the second round of the 6A state tournament. The Phoenix squad was outscored 20-4 in the second quarter which ultimately proved to be much of the difference in the season-ending loss.

“Westlake is a great team,” said assistant coach Hilary Noel. “We wish them good luck in the tournament.”

Morgan Rogers was the team’s leading scorer with seven points with Makelle Weber and Ellie Dorius adding four, Olive Wayland, Ellie Schow, Emilie Figlioli and Breklyn Archibald three each and Katie Myers two.

“The seniors [Rogers, Schow, Figlioli, Archibald, Myers, Brooklyn Symes, Hallie Neuenschwander] on our team were great leaders this year,” Noel said. “They created a positive and inclusive environment that made it enjoyable for all. We will miss our seniors but look forward to the future with our returning talent.”

Farmington finished the season with a 10-13 record.

Viewmont

No. 9 Viewmont defeated No. 24 Bonneville 50-41 in the first round of the 5A state tournament Feb. 18. The Vikings got out to a strong start – going up 13-8 after the first quarter – and maintained the advantage with a 28-point second half effort.

It was the third meeting of the season for both teams, with Viewmont winning all three games by an average of 10 points.

“It was a good team win,” said assistant coach Brooke Anderson. “The girls are ready to start focusing on our game against Brighton.”

Mara Mickelson had a monster game with 26 points, including six 3-pointers, while grabbing eight rebounds. Callie Peterson scored 11 points and grabbed seven boards with Mary Carr recording eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Other significant contributors in the win were Sophie Gold (three points, five rebounds), Annie Layton (two points) and Kelsey Lindsey (six rebounds, two blocks).

Against No. 8 Brighton Feb. 20 in the second round, the Vikings lost 61-51, ending their season.

“All of our girls played their hearts out, but unfortunately we didn’t come out with the win,” said Anderson.

Senior Mary Carr had a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds with senior Callie Peterson recording 10 points and seven boards. Others scoring were junior Susan Lamb (seven points), senior Mara Mickelson and senior Sophie Gold (six), junior Annie Layson (five) and sophomore Kailey Selleneit (four).

Viewmont’s record on the year was 16-9.

“The girls gave us their all all season long and we couldn’t be more proud of them,” Anderson said. 

Woods Cross

No. 11 Woods Cross was upset by No. 22 Spanish Fork 48-46 Feb. 18. In a tight game throughout, the Wildcats were up early and then down by two at the break. In the second half, it was much the same in the close loss to end their season.

“We obviously are disappointed on how our season ended,” said head coach David Simon. “Spanish Fork played a great game. We just made too many little mistakes to come out with the win.”

Grace MacArthur had 15 points to lead Woods Cross with Kiyomi Tauataina also in double figures with 12 as she drained four 3-pointers. Also scoring in the loss were Adia Cook (11 points), Lucy Thompson (five) and Ili Crockett (three).

“This team has been one of the best group of girls I have coached,” Simon said. “They played together as a team, worked together as a team and relied on each other. We had a rough start to the season but when we figured out a few games into the season that playing together and supporting each other was the secret to our success they really did great. For me, they were so fun to coach this year. They were so coachable and fun to be around. They all took care of each other and wanted the best for each other. You could see the positive relationships the girls had with each other in the way that they played. I am very proud of this team and what they accomplished.”

The Wildcats ended their season with a 14-10 record.

“I am also so proud of my assistant coaches Katie Harker and Casey Plowman,” said Simon. “I have two of the best assistant coaches that always have the best interest of the girls on their minds. I couldn’t do it without them and their support. They want nothing but the best for the girls and the program and it shows with their effort and dedication to coaching the girls. It is definitely a tough season to see end for us.”
