Game Details - Girls Basketball

The Titans and the Phoenix quite literally went toe-to-toe for a full 32 minutes, needing overtime to eventually determine a winner. In extra time, it was Syracuse that hopped into the driver’s seat, outscoring Farmington 14-5 in the overtime period to secure a hard-earned, 59-50 Region 1 victory. In the end, it simply came down to–as most basketball games do–getting stops and hitting shots. Also boosting Syracuse’s case was its 90 percent shooting clip at the free throw line, including a 6-for-6 output from the charity stripe in overtime. Syracuse’s Maylee Anderson led all scorers with 18 points, including four three-pointers–one of which put the Titans up seven points in overtime, effectively putting the game away. Avery Sanders and Cami King also chipped-in 16 and 14 points, respectively, for the Titans. Syracuse, the No. 10-ranked team in the 6A RPI, improved to 13-7 on the season, while Farmington fell to 9-10. “I was extremely proud of the way our team battled tonight. It was a very fun game to coach. I felt that both teams played tough and wanted it. I told my girls that we could not have a letdown after the fourth quarter. I felt that we came out with great energy in overtime and made big-time plays and big-time shots down the stretch,” Syracuse coach Braden Hamblin said.
