Game Details - Girls Basketball

The Roy Royals have played seven Region 2 games so far this year, and they’ve certainly found a way to make them interesting. With a 34-33 victory over Kearns Friday night, the Royals secured their fourth region victory of the season–three of which have now been one-point victories. It was a back-and-forth game from the tip, but Roy yet again managed to close the game out in crunchtime. With the Royals trailing by one with 46 seconds remaining, Nicole Williams–who finished with a team-high 10 points on the night—was fouled on a three-point attempt, sending her to the line for a trio of potential go-ahead free throw attempts. Williams sunk two of the freebies, giving Roy the one-point cushion, which it maintained thanks to two key defensive stops to finish the game. The clutch play down the stretch allowed Roy to improve to 4-3 in region play. “We are proud of this group. We are improving each game and putting ourselves in a position to be in games. We have a tough stretch ahead with 4 out of 5 on the road, but for tonight and this weekend, these kids get to enjoy this one,” Roy coach Carolyn Dehoff said.
