Second-half run allows SHS to pull away ♦
For two and a half quarters, the Stansbury girls basketball team had its hands full in its home opener Tuesday night against Park City.
However, the Stallions found their stride at just the right time. A 19-3 run in the third and fourth quarters turned a close game into a blowout, as Stansbury rolled to a 49-26 win over the Miners at Stansbury High School.
Park City (1-2) trailed by just five points after a basket by Sam Riely early in the third quarter, and Stansbury (1-1) had already committed three second-half turnovers. However, Stallions forward Sarah Gatluak sparked a huge Stansbury run with a layup in transition, followed by a putback layup and an and-one that gave SHS a 27-15 lead with 4:57 left in the period. After a timeout by the Miners, Gatluak capped her personal 8-0 run with a free throw, and teammate Ainsley Thurber knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing to extend Stansbury’s lead to 31-15.
