Game Details - Boys Basketball

Already with 10 wins on the season, Springville capitalized on an opportunity to solidify itself as the team to beat in Region 9 with a 50-47 win over Salem Hills Tuesday night. It was a defensive battle, as the Red Devils maintained a lead for most of the game, but Salem Hills fought back to take the lead early in the fourth quarter. But it was short-lived, as Springville retook the lead and locked it down on the defensive end of the floor to close the game out. The Red Devils were led by a trio of double-digit scorers, as Mason Hansen (15 points), Nate Visentin (12 points) and Jamyn Sondrup (12 points) helped provide the offensive spark for Springville’s eleventh win of the season. But Springville coach Justin Snell said it was the game’s unsung defensive heroes that ultimately gave the Red Devils the win. “I was really happy with our guys on the defensive end. Executing a game plan and trusting each other. Both Hiatt Hullinger and Carter Ozuna came in off the bench to give us some great minutes. Hullinger pressured the ball all night and Ozuna came in with great energy and big rebounds to seal the game,” Snell said.
