As 2012 dawns, the changing of the calendar offers a lot of Top of Utah basketball teams the chance to regroup for the upcoming league seasons.

While Region 11 jumped into league play in December, the rest of the area leagues used the pre-league scheduled to develop their game plan.

This week's action includes a bevy of traditional matchups, formerly region games now relegated to preseason battles for "bragging rights."

LAYTON -- Three days before Christmas and the Lancers got an early lump of coal in their stockings.

Layton High remained undefeated Thursday -- holding off the Lakers 42-35 in a non-league game -- but lost its two-year starting point guard for four weeks and maybe longer.

Senior Amber Daly suffered a possible torn tendon in the middle finger of her left (non-shooting) hand in the last two minutes of the second quarter.

The Lancers (8-0 overall) had a 20-point lead at 1:16 of the second quarter, but got outscored 25-15 during the second half.

PLEASANT VIEW -- Alta High wrestlers played spoilers to the host Weber Warriors as they took top honors at the Warrior Duels wrestling tournament Friday and Saturday.

Mat marauders from eight schools clashed in the round-robin tournament at Weber High School as Alta's Zane Rasmussen (106), Matt Findlay (113), and Gavin Godfrey (152) won all seven matches in their respective classes on their way to the team podium's top spot.

Weber placed four wrestlers at the top of the 145, 160, 182, 220 classes to take second place, and Logan rounded out the top three, putting wrestlers at the top of the 126, 132, 138, 170 and 285 classes.

CLEARFIELD -- A year ago, this would have been a key Region 1 clash.

But Viewmont has been banished to Region 2 where it will play a bunch of Salt Lake schools and Clearfield has stepped away from the state 5-A ranks and now plays in 4-A Region 6.

Still, the former league rivals staged a spirited battle where the Vikings struggled early and then cruised to a comfortable 59-43 victory over the home-town Falcons on Friday evening.

When the state football playoffs kick off in earnest this Friday, Top of Utah teams that can hang their hat on the defense will feel and added boost of comfort as the one-and-done tournaments roll toward the No. 18 tripleheader finale for 5-A, 4-A and 3-A teams at Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium.

The Region 1 wars produced a repeat champion in Fremont, and state contenders Northridge, Davis and Syracuse.

The Silver Wolves, Darts and Titans allow about 10 points per game, which could be a key as the playoffs unfold. The Knights allow 22 points per contest, but use their potent offense as a hammer to their overall game plan.
