In a battle of the top two ranked teams in 6A, Lone Peak used a suffocating defense to stake its claim as one of the state’s top teams, defeating Skyridge 67-36. Each team came into the game having won five straight and boasting 10-3 records. Lone Peak set the tone early on the defensive end, holding Skyridge to single digits in the first three quarters. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the Knights had a 21-point lead and continued their balanced team attack to finish the job. Shawnee Nordstrom was dynamic from behind the three-point line, nailing five threes as part of her 19 points. Kailey Woolston also scored 19 for the defending 6A state champs. Skyridge's Cambree Blackham led the Falcons with nine points. “What I’m most pleased with tonight was our ability to answer and make a play when things started to shift in Skyridge’s direction,” said Lone Peak coach Nancy Warner. “It’s a testament to our leadership and experience we have on our team.”
