Game Details - Boys Basketball

After a hot start from Salem Hills hit them in the mouth early, the Cedar Valley Aviators–who trailed by nine after the first quarter–used a 25-13 scoring advantage in the fourth period to pull away late and pick up their ninth victory of the season Tuesday night by a score of 80-73. The Aviator trio of Jax Allen (29 points), Ty Christensen (24 points) and Cole Roberts (21 points) combined to score 74 of Cedar Valley’s 80 points. The win gives Cedar Valley a momentum boost as the team kicks off its region play on Friday at Uintah. “At halftime we knew we had to try and slow down their shooters to give us a chance to get the lead,” Cedar Valley coach Blake Pugmire said. “I told them to just keep sharing the ball, draw power plays and find the open man. Our guys did a great job in the 4th quarter of trusting each other to make the right play and hit open shots.”
