Game Details - Girls Basketball

As the final period rolled around in Tuesday’s Region 9 matchup between Salem Hills and Provo, the Skyhawks found themselves staring down an 11 point deficit. Though it may have seemed the game was over for the Skyhawks–especially considering they hadn’t led at any point in the first three quarters–they certainly didn’t count themselves out. Salem Hills went on to outscore the Bulldogs 19-7 in the fourth quarter to earn itself a 52-51 victory. Salem Hills found itself up three with 10 seconds left, but Provo’s Kate Lunt (game-high 22 points) hit her fifth 3-pointer of the game to tie the score at 51, but Madi King drew a foul to send herself to the free throw line with one second remaining. King came through for the Skyhawks, hitting one of her free throws to put the game on ice. King (17 points), Brooke Warren (14 points) and Addy Tasker (12 points) managed to take advantage of some of Provo’s foul trouble and became the catalysts offensively for Salem Hills, which picked up its second region win of the season. “We’ve dealt with a lot of adversity this season with injuries and other challenges, so it was great to see us not quit and keep fighting when things got tough tonight,” Salem Hills coach Taylor Jones said. “We have such a young group, so any win against a good team like Provo will help us tremendously. I’m very proud of our whole team.”
