MORGAN -- Lively, energetic, passionate. All are apropos terms used to describe this year's Morgan Trojans.

Coach Jim Wiscombe has another label: blue-collar. That one might have been the most fitting on Friday night as the hard-working Trojans knocked off bitter rival Bear River 64-51 and ensured themselves the No. 1 seed from Region 11 in the upcoming state 3-A playoffs.

Prep basketball: Royals no match for Lakers' stingy defense

Dennis Larsen Standard-Examiner

Last updated Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 11:37pm

WASHINGTON TERRACE -- The matchup of the Royals' state 4-A leading offense (56.20 points per game) versus a Bonneville defense allowing just 36.47 ppg -- No. 2 in the 4-A ranks by only .04 -- was a no-contest.

Despite a venue change Thursday, the league-leading Lakers spanked Roy High 54-22 to remain undefeated at Region 5's midpoint.

If Bonneville (13-3 overall, 5-0 league) is to capture its first league girls basketball title since the 2003-04 season, it will have to do it away from home. The Lakers, who swept their seventh consecutive victory and are 8-2 spanning their last 10 games, play four of their final five on the road.

OGDEN -- Patience has its virtues, which is why the Scots are in contention for their first league boys basketball title since 1986-87, and have already surpassed last season's eight victories.

Running its half-court offense to near perfection Wednesday, while shooting a blistering 65.2 percent (15-of-23) from the floor, paved the way to Ben Lomond's 49-37 Region 11 win over Da Bears.

During the next week, swim pools around the state will be echoing with the cheers and tears of Top of Utah high school swimmers as they battle for state qualifications and region titles at a handful of championship meets.

They'll be led by top performers Elizabeth Tomon, Erin Nordhill, Brighton West, Rachel De Young, Mary Williams, and Rachel Wilding for the girls; and Chandler Ward, Tim Romney, Shea Smith, Drake Mendelson, Tim Romney, John Brasher, Josh Nguyen, and Jon Vu for the boys.
