Feb. 23 - Pleasant Grove 47, Bingham 43
Story of the game: MacKenzie Larson scored 18 points and Jennifer
Hamson had 12 as Pleasant Grove beat Bingham in the first round of
the 5A state tournament.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners trailed most of the game, but had
runs of 11-2 and 11-0 to stay close. Dezz Ramos led the way with 17
points, despite battling a box-and-one defense implemented by
Pleasant Grove.
Pleasant Grove's highlights: Larson and Hamson scored most of
the points, but Rebecca Clements was also hailed for nailing two
free throws with 16.5 seconds left to secure the win.
Statistical notes: Nicole Newbold nailed three of Bingham's five
three-pointers and finished with 13 points. Both teams shot 50
percent or less from the free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: This was a disappointing loss for
Bingham, which was a No. 1seed and had high hopes of advancing
in the state tourney.

Feb. 16 - Bingham 60, Taylorsville 33
Story of the game: Dezz Ramos, Nicole Newbold and Rachel Gines
had big nights as Bingham overwhelmed Taylorsville on "Senior
Night" and won the Region 3 championship.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners dominated the second quarter and
took a 17-point lead into halftime. Bingham played its "A" game, and
shot 16-16 from the free-throw line to set a team record.

title, but this outcome was decided early. Whitney Mitchell had a
decent game with 15 points and Sa'ane Lo'amanu added 11.
Statistical notes: Ramos had 18 points, Newbold 14 and Gines 12.
Taylorsville shot 8-19 from the free-throw line. Mitchell had the
game's only three-pointer.
What we learned from this game: The Miners won their first region
title in three years and go into the 5A state tournament as a No. 1
seed. They drew the Pleasant Grove-Granger winner in the first
round, and that's not necessarily a good matchup.

on this night.

that will decide the Region 3 title.

Story of the game: Dezz Ramos scored a season-high 20 points as
Bingham rolled past Kearns with a big fourth quarter in a Region 3
game.

Kearns was 2-5. The Miners swept the season series, but Kearns
played well both times.
What we learned from this game: Bingham took sole possesion of

What we learned from this game: Bingham was coming off its huge

Jan. 28 - Bingham 32, Riverton 30

quarter and took a 21-17 lead at intermission. Megan Johnson

a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter. Chalese Fankhauser had 11
points and Nicole Newbold and Rachel Gines 10.
Taylorsville's highlights: Mitchell hit another key three-pointer in the
overtime, and Sa'ane Lo'amanu scored all 11 of her points in the
second half for the Warriors. Alyssa Moncrief added nine.

Taylorsville was 11-20, but Lo'amanu made all five of her charity
shots. Dezz Ramos didn't reach double figures for the first time in
nine games. Bingham dropped to 1-2 in overtime games.

Ramos 13 as Bingham pulled away from West Jordan in the second
half and stayed unbeaten in Region 3.

but ended up suffering their biggest loss - to date - of the region
season. Shelby Misrasi tied her season high with 11 points.
Statistical notes: Bingham got off to a slow start and led just 14-12
after the first quarter. Both teams shot about 70 percent from the
free-throw line. Ramos had the game's only three-pointer.
What we learned from this game: Bingham continues its
dominance over the Jags with a relatively easy victory. The Miners
seem to have a lot more depth over every team, except perhaps
Riverton.

Jan. 19 - Bingham 50, Kearns 34
Story of the game: Dezz Ramos scored 13 points and Nicole
Newbold had 12, but the real story was how well Bingham's defense
played in the second half in its Region 3 win over Kearns.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners trailed 28-27 at halftime, but
dominated the second half while limiting Kearns to six second-half
points. Rachel Gines added nine points.
Kearns' highlights: The Cougars sensed a home upset early, but
scored just one point in the third quarter and never threatened.
Christen Lopez topped Kearns with 10 points.
Statistical notes: Bingham shot 24-35 from the free-throw line.
Kearns was just 5-16.
What we learned from this game: This must have been a serious
halftime pep talk because the Miners dominated like never before
and improved to 3-0 in region.

Dec. 15 - Bingham 48, Alta 47
Story of the game: Summer Yack scored 14 points, including four
three-pointers, as Bingham handed Alta its first loss of the season in
a non-region game.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners escaped. One year after beating
Alta by almost 50 points, they barely survive thanks to Yack's shooting
and a dominating rebounding effort. Meghan Herrick and Rachel
Gines each had nine points.
Alta's highlights: The Hawks trailed most of the game, but went on a
13-5 run in the third quarter to take the lead. Alta led by one with :22
left, but could not grab an important defensive rebound, which led to
the winning point. Makenzi Morrison led with 19 points and Becca
Beaudoin had 13.
Statistical notes: Bingham was 9-19 from the free-throw line. Alta
was 12-16. The Hawks shot just 32 percent, but were helped by just
five turnovers.
What we learned from this game: This rivalry seems to have moved
to girls basketball, too. Don't think Bingham took Alta too lightly.
Instead, it's possible these are two good teams.

Dec. 10 - Brighton 49, Bingham 45 (OT)
Story of the game: Kylie Hirschi scored 21 points, including a
three-pointer to send the game into overtime, as Brighton edged
Bingham in a battle of 5A unbeatens.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners trailed most of the game, but rode
the scoring of Nicole Newbold's season-high 22 points to rally and
eventually take a narrow lead. Dezz Ramos added 11 points.
Brighton's highlights: Hirschi's trey gave the Bengals momentum
going into overtime and they outscored Bingham 7-3 after that to take
the win. Katie Tominaga added 13 points.
Statistical notes: Both teams shot about 50 percent from the
free-throw line. Hirschi's three-pointer was the first this season and
one of two she would make during the year.
What we learned from this game: Bingham suffered its first loss,
but Brighton may be the toughest team on the preseason schedule.

Dec. 8 - Bingham 54, Jordan 45
Story of the game: Rachel Gines led a balanced scoring effort with
13 points as Bingham built a comfortable first-half lead and held off
Jordan to stay undefeated.
Bingham's highlights: Gines, Nicole Newbold and Dezz Ramos each
reached double figures and played the major roles as Bingham took
a 32-15 halftime lead. The defense faltered in the second half, but
the Miners hit their charity shots at the end.
Jordan's highlights: Jordan was coming off its first win of the season
the night before but couldn't keep the momentum going. Madison
Naylor led the Beetdiggers with 14 points and BreeAnn Monson had
nine.
Statistical notes: Monson had two of Jordan's three treys; Bingham
had none. Ramos hit double figures for the third time in four games.
She seems the likely candidate to be Bingham's top scorer so far.
What we learned from this game: This wasn't Bingham's best effort,
but it was good enough for win No. 4. This is also a busy stretch
where the Miners play four games in eight days.

Dec. 4 - Bingham 47, Weber 35
Story of the game: Dezz Ramos scored 13 points and Chalese
Frankhauser added 10 as Bingham built a 10-point halftime lead and
held off Weber in a non-region game.
Bingham's highlights: The Miners led 11-6 after one quarter and
26-16 at intermission. They spent a lot of time at the free-throw line
and hit enough of their shots to keep a comfortable lead.
Weber's highlights: The Warriors never let Bingham get too far
ahead and Erica Olpin had 10 points to keep the game interesting.
Weber fell to 0-4 with the loss, but all four defeats have come against
good teams.
Statistical notes: Bingham shot 21-32 from the free-throw line.
Weber was 11-17. Meghan Herrick, Nicole Newbold and Rachel
Gines each had seven points.
What we learned from this game: This won't go down in the history
books as one of Bingham's biggest wins, but the Miners turned back
each of Weber's rallies in their first road game of the season.

an inexperienced Davis team in a non-region game.

in the second half and used their bench to turn the game into a rout.
Nicole Newbold added nine points as 12 players reached the
scoring column.

seven seniors from last year's team. Betsy McCausland was the
scoring lead with seven points.
Statistical notes: Bingham shot just 41.7 percent (10-24) from the
free-throw line. Bingham outscored Davis 14-3 in the final period.
What we learned from this game: The Miners played much better
than the opener - on both offense and defense. The home fans were
probably glad to see it.
