Elsewhere in Region 5, Woods Cross saw its chances of a region title get a significant boost. After defeating Box Elder by only one point earlier in the season, the Wildcats managed to secure victory a bit more comfortably Friday evening, defeating the Bees 55-49 to improve to 6-0 in Region 5. Wood Cross now owns a two-game lead over Box Elder and is in complete control of its quest for a region title. The Wildcats came out the gates with intent, jumping out to a 19-11 lead after the first period of play. Woods Cross got strong performances from all players in its rotation, as five players scored 10 or more points. Alex Brey led the way for the Wildcats, scoring a game-high 14 points. With four games remaining in its regular season, Woods Cross now appears to be on track to be crowned Region 5 champions–something it didn’t manage to accomplish last season, despite finishing as the 5A runner-up. "We had a good start and held the lead the whole game. Box Elder battled back in the 4th and made it a game. We made big free throws down the stretch to secure the win...Box elder is so tough and very well coached," Wood Cross coach Josh Margetts said.
