Prep basketball: Lancers nab long-awaited win against Darts

LAYTON -- For Layton, it must have felt like forever ago.

'It' is the last time the boys basketball team defeated Davis and 'it' happened for the first time since the 2003-04 season on Friday evening when the Lancers dumped the Darts for their first Region 1 victory of the season.

Boys basketball: Warriors take care of Darts

KAYSVILLE -- This time the numbers don't lie.

Weber dominated all key statistical categories and rode a strong second half to sweep the season series against Davis with a 56-42 dusting of the Darts on Tuesday evening.

At the risk of brain warp, some of the mind-numbing numbers include a 36-23 rebounding advantage and 23-of-26 from the free throw line for the Warriors. Weber held Davis to 29.4 percent from the floor and 0-of-10 from the 3-point line in the second half while shooting 69.2 percent in the second stanza from the field to finish at 50 percent for the game.

Girls basketball: Layton wins with teamwork

LAYTON -- On a team devoid of star power, it is all about defense and teamwork for the once-beaten Lancers.

In its final home game this season, Layton High again got balanced scoring en route to a 55-37 Region 1 victory Tuesday over the Silver Wolves.

"I'm not really emotional. I play every game the same it feels like," said Lancers senior center Courtnee Wood. "I came up as a freshman, so when it started, it seemed like it would be a long four years. But it's just flown by."

SYRACUSE -- The Davis Darts once again built a double-digit lead on the road at Syracuse.

This time they didn't let go.

A year after watching a 27-point lead evaporate in a 49-47 loss to the Titans, Davis used a barrage of Jace Johnson early and a parade of Karter Chisholm free throws late to hold Syracuse at bay in a 66-56 victory.

Prep basketball: Knights down Darts in key Region 1 battle

LAYTON -- It is sometimes difficult to tell the flavor of a game by the final score.

Such was the case Tuesday evening when Northridge and Davis went into the fourth quarter tied at 28 before the Knights stepped up their defense and made some key free throws down the stretch to taste victory in a 47-38 battle, staying tied with Fremont for first place in Region 1.

Prep basketball: Darts win, jump into share of 1st place

KAYSVILLE -- Someone should tell Abel Porter he is only a sophomore.

Just don't expect his teammates to treat him like one.

Porter, a 6-foot 1 point guard for Davis, drove the lane to make a tying basket, was fouled on the play and then converted the free throw with 15.7 seconds remaining to lead the Darts into a first-place Region 1 tie by taking down Fremont 47-44 on Friday evening.
