Big game ahead for Eagles

Skyline picked up its second region victory by defeating Hillcrest 53-39. DeSean Miller scored 15 in the win, upping his season average to 11 points per game. The Eagles will face a stiff test when they travel to face Olympus on Friday.

Warriors drop eighth straight

Taylorsville missed out on a chance to stop its losing streak when the Warriors lost a tough game to Granger 54-50. Taylorsville will get another good chance to stop the streak when they host Kearns on Friday.

Lynx win second straight

After starting the season with eight consecutive losses, Concordia Prep won two straight games. Chris Stanfill accounted for 34 of his teams 64 points in the region win. The Lynx will put their undefeated region record on the line this week against Layton Christian and West Ridge Academy.

Lions drop region opener

Only three Intermountain Christian players — Michael Fox, Mikey Boettger and Zach Page — scored in the Lions 67-52 loss to Layton Christian. While it is impressive that three players can put up 52 points, the Lions will need to find a little more help to be able to compete in region play.

Huskies searching for first region win

The Huskies got a rude welcome to Region 7, facing the region’s top two teams in consecutive games. Hillcrest wasn’t able to keep pace with either Olympus or Skyline. This week will tell a lot about the Huskies, if they can break through against Murray and Herriman they will be in line for a spot at the state tournament. If not, Hillcrest will quickly find itself at the bottom of Region 7.
