Girls basketball: Trojans finish perfect region slate

MORGAN -- It was a subdued celebration, but the Morgan Trojans cut down the nets on Tuesday night after knocking off Ogden 46-34 and finishing the Region 11 schedule with a perfect 12-0 record. The win marks two straight years of unblemished league play and Morgan's fourth region championship in a row.

But the Trojans (17-4 overall) weren't exactly thrilled with how their regular season ended. Numerous turnovers, too many missed layups and cold- and flu-like symptoms for half a dozen Morgan players resulted in a game that was too close for comfort. But the motivated Tigers had a lot to do with that.

"We've got some sick girls," Morgan coach Brad Matthews said. "Practice the last couple of days has been rough and some of them were having a hard time breathing. But that's still no excuse for bad passes and turnovers. Ogden had a good game plan. We got out of what we do partly because of what Ogden was doing."

Girls basketball: Lakers get ugly win over Griz

WASHINGTON TERRACE -- It was not smooth sailing this week for the league-leading Lakers.

First up was a rocky six-point road win Tuesday over last-place Box Elder. Then Thursday, Bonneville had to regroup after a turnover-plagued, three-point third quarter to subdue the Grizzlies 49-37 and remain undefeated in Region 5.

"I think we had a good first half," Lakers junior guard/forward Emilie Volk said. "We weren't up on our feet like we should have been on defense and they got some 3-pointers. We couldn't miss when we were up there (shooting 49.1 percent in a 65-39 win on Jan. 17). I think we were ready; our shots weren't falling as much."
