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."

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.
