PLAIN CITY -- The Fremont Silver Wolves played a strong defensive game on Friday afternoon, claiming a 53-22 victory over Northridge in Region 1 girls basketball action.

The Fremont defense was impressive, holding Northridge to seven first-half points. But the Silver Wolves coaching staff came away pleased with the team's offensive performance as well.

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.

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."

LAYTON -- Like Lady Gaga, Northridge's boys basketball team is 'On the Edge of Glory' following its 48-44 victory over cross-town rival Layton on Friday evening.

With Fremont's loss to Weber, the Knights (10-7 overall, 5-1 league) are in sole possession of first place in Region 1 as they start the second half of the schedule.

LAYTON -- It was a good thing Ally Wahlstrom was on because the Lancers were a tad off.

Despite an uncharacteristic 23 turnovers, Layton High still smoked the crosstown rival Knights by 21 points Friday in a Region 1 runaway.

"To me, our big rival is Davis. But to Northridge, I think we're their big rival," Wahlstrom said.

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.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The statistics were eerily similar across the board. Both the Weber Warriors and the Northridge Knights had 22 field goals. They each had 25 rebounds apiece.

Friday's Region 1 game came down to the last shot in the final second of the game. Down by one, Northridge guard Preston Christensen took an inbounds pass the length of the floor with 7.4 seconds left on the clock and sank the winning runner from five feet out to propel the Knights to a thrilling 58-57 victory.
