LAYTON -- Playing at a .500 clip (4-4) so far this season, Layton has had some good games and some bad games.

After Tuesday night's blowout, add an 'L' to the Lancers' overall preseason record.

A talented (8-2) Bountiful bunch took an early first quarter lead and was never in much trouble the rest of the way as the Braves cruised to a comfortable, if not pretty 76-61 road victory.

LAYTON -- Three days before Christmas and the Lancers got an early lump of coal in their stockings.

Layton High remained undefeated Thursday -- holding off the Lakers 42-35 in a non-league game -- but lost its two-year starting point guard for four weeks and maybe longer.

Senior Amber Daly suffered a possible torn tendon in the middle finger of her left (non-shooting) hand in the last two minutes of the second quarter.

The Lancers (8-0 overall) had a 20-point lead at 1:16 of the second quarter, but got outscored 25-15 during the second half.

Weber placed four wrestlers at the top of the 145, 160, 182, 220 classes to take second place, and Logan rounded out the top three, putting wrestlers at the top of the 126, 132, 138, 170 and 285 classes.

OREM — The Darts got their payback, and with it, the state 5-A volleyball title.

In 2010, Davis High dropped its semifinal-round matchup to Lone Peak, with the Knights later capturing their fifth state championship in either the 5-A or 4-A ranks.

The revenge-minded Darts speared the Region 4 tri-champion Knights 25-23, 25-16, 18-25, 25-16 in 1 hour, 31 minutes to advance to Saturday’s title game versus Lehi — a newcomer to the state 5-A classification — at Utah Valley University.

WASHINGTON TERRACE -- Turnovers crippled the Lakers at Thomas Budge Field on Friday night as the Sky View Bobcats escaped with a 21-17 win dropping Bonneville to 1-4 in Region 5 action.

Bonneville lost the ball five times and Sky View quarterback Nicholas Carver made them pay with 231 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-29 passing.

"You can't turn the ball over five times against anybody," Bonneville coach Randy Johnson said. "It gives them the short field and when you give a team that many opportunities they're going to score."
