Game Details - Girls Basketball

In a back and forth battle of region 10 foes, Desert Hills defended its home court and picked up a narrow 44-41 victory over Hurricane. “We battled from behind the whole night but the girls fought it out and came out on top at the end,” said Desert Hills coach Ron Denos. “Hurricane played tough and Crandall gave us fits tonight.” The sea-saw battle saw both the Tigers and the Thunder win two quarters each, with Hurricane outscoring Desert Hills by four and two in the first and third quarters, and the Thunder winning the second and fourth quarters by five and four respectively. Crandall’s big night for the Tigers included notching a double double with 15 points and 15 boards. Finding themselves trailing by eight with just over four minutes left in the game, the Thunder focused on defense, leading to key stops and big three pointers from Kaitlyn Andrus and Ashtin Hansen to close the gap and pull away.
