Game Details - Boys Basketball

Coming into the game trailing Herriman in the 6A Region 3 standings, Bingham looked like the better team on the floor from the start as the Miners went on to beat the Mustangs, 60-48. Bingham shot out of a cannon to get out to an 18-6 lead after the first quarter. Herriman narrowed the lead to 27-24 by halftime, but the Miners outscored the Mustangs in the third and fourth to seal the deal. Senior KJ Jenson drained five 3-pointers for 15 points, and freshman Luke West added another 15 for Bingham. Junior Ike Palmer led Herriman in the loss with 15 points. Interestingly, 12 of the total 13 players who scored for either team also made at least one 3. "Our guys were very focused and confident to start the game, and it showed with the score after one quarter. We then battled through some foul trouble in the second and third but executed really well and played together in the fourth. Brayden Whitehead was huge for us defensively with seven blocks (unofficially) and then KJ, Luke, and Carson [Bagley] led us on the other end. [It was a] big win for us to finish out the first round of region but [we] have a lot of work to do moving forward to reach our goals," Bingham coach Kyle Straatman said.
