Stansbury girls fall to Cedar at Cancer Classic ♦ After the holiday break, along with a long bus trip to southern Utah, it would have been understandable for the girls basketball teams from Grantsville, Tooele and Stansbury high schools to look a little bit sluggish on Monday in their first games of the annual Steve Hodson Cancer Classic. Instead, the Cowboys, Buffaloes and Stallions all had standout performances, with Grantsville and Tooele coming away with wins. Stansbury lost its game on Monday, but saw some positive signs, as well. Grantsville 57, Canyon View 35 Emily Backus knocked down five 3-pointers as part of a 26-point effort as Grantsville routed tournament co-host Canyon View on Monday in Cedar City. ....
Stansbury junior drains four 3s in fourth-quarter surge ♦ The Stansbury girls basketball team isn’t off to the start it hoped for, having dropped four of five entering Tuesday’s non-region contest against Juab at Stansbury High School. It didn’t look promising early in Tuesday’s game, either, as the visiting Wasps led 25-18 with 2:19 left in the first half, and 33-28 with 3:30 left in the third quarter. However, the Stallions turned things around in a big way over the final 11:30, as junior Ainsley Thurber scored 17 points during a 26-6 run to close the game to lead Stansbury to a 55-39 win. ....
Grantsville responds well after blowout loss ♦ The Grantsville girls basketball team isn’t accustomed to losing very often at all, much less in the fashion the Cowboys did in last Tuesday’s 19-point loss to Delta. Less than 48 hours later, the Cowboys took to the court again, this time on the road against county rival Stansbury for their third game in four nights. Shaking off any fatigue or other lingering effects from Tuesday’s game, the Cowboys dominated from the opening tip on Thursday night at Stansbury High School, rolling past the Stallions for a 49-32 win that improved their record to 4-2 on the season. ....
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. ....
