Game Details - Boys Basketball

The Lancers knew they had a tough task ahead of them coming into their Friday evening road matchup against Fremont. Not only was Fremont undefeated in Region 1 play coming into the game, but Layton had not beaten the Silverwolves in their home gym since the 2017-18 season. For a full four quarters, the Lancers received the dogfight they were expecting, but managed to come out on top for a 62-60 victory. Layton used a 17-2 run in the first half to seize an early lead, which it ended up needing in the game’s final minutes. Layton received a balanced effort offensively, with four different players scoring in double-figures. KJ Miller (13 points) was the leading scorer for the Lancers, while Fremont’s David Calvert led all scorers with 22 points. The result certainly made the Region 1 race more interesting, as Fremont fell to 7-1 in region play, while Layton–which currently sits in second place–jumped to 6-3. “Our guys did an amazing job staying together. We got great performances from everyone tonight. Anytime we can get 4 players in double figures we’re going to be hard to beat. Ultimately we want to be playing our best ball right now and I think we are,” Layton head coach Kelby Miller said.
