SYRACUSE -- For three years running, the Titans have been the flagship of Region 1 girls basketball.

With Oklahoma State assistant coach Bill Annan in attendance, Cowgirls signee Brittney Martin splashed in a season-high 31 points on 13-of-22 shooting Thursday and state 5-A runner-up Syracuse High clinched no less than a tie for its fourth consecutive league title with a 62-50 victory over the Warriors.

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."

SYRACUSE -- The Weber Warriors knew they were going to have to absorb the best shot from a suddenly reeling Syracuse team.

And the Titans nearly delivered the knockout blow.

However a potential game-tying 3-point hoist by Jordan Jones drifted right and allowed the Warriors to escape with a 49-46 decision, dealing Syracuse its fourth straight loss.
