Game Details - Girls Basketball

Two high-end teams in 5A Region competed to the final seconds, but it was senior guard Emersea Beddoes that had the final say. Beddoes sank the go-ahead shot with just four seconds on the clock to close out a big win for Payson over Uintah, 50-48. Beddoes scored 15 points to lead eight Lions who scored in the game. Uintah got big games out of McKenzie White with 18 points, including three 3-pointers, and Kyrsten Bake with 15 points. The win keeps Payson in the Region 7 race at 7-1 just behind 8-0 Cottonwood. The Lions face the Colts in a huge region matchup on Wednesday. "Our team is very balanced and led by a really tough group of seniors. Despite being down at times, they never quit and came through in a hard-fought region game. I'm very proud of this group. Any one of them can score double digits any game. When we finally get healthy, we can play with anyone. I love this team," Payson coach Chad Bahr said.
