Story of the game: Tyler Haws scored 22 points and Lone Peak went
on a 22-2 run in the first quarter and that made the difference in the
Knights 5A semifinal win over Bingham.
Bingham's key moment: The Miners rallied, and eventually closed to
within 46-34 on baskets by Ben Clifford and Remington Peck, but they
could not get closer. Clifford finished with 15 points and Peck had 11.
Lone Peak's key moment: The Knights played their best game of the
tournament and dominated every statistical category. They silenced
Bingham's fans with their early effort. Dillon Smith added 14 points
and Brandon Reeves had 13.
Statistical notes: Smith had four three-pointers for Lone Peak. He hit
three of them in the first quarter. With the exception of the opening
quarter, the teams played pretty evenly.

badly. It was just outplayed by the defending champions.

including 12 in the pivotal fourth quarter, as Bingham edged Riverton
and moved into first place in Region 3.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners had a narrow lead most of the
game, but lost it in the fourth period when Riverton scored seven
straight points to take a 53-48 advantage. Peck then hit a pair of
three-pointers and Bingham made 5-6 free throws down the stretch.
Riverton's best moment: Riverton never gave up and Scott Friel, Ryan
Thomas and Garrett Gundestrup silenced the home crowd as it took
that five-point lead. Friel was the team's top scorer with 18 points.
Statistical notes: Peck had four three-pointers and took over the
scoring load when Ben Clifford was saddled with foul trouble. Clifford
still finished with 14 points. Thomas had 14 for Riverton, and

region title, although Bingham still has West Jordan on its schedule.

also opened the inside and Remington Peck added 16 points and
Ben Clifford had 12.

shooting, with 23 points on five three-pointers. Actually, the Jags more
than matched Bingham on the perimeter, but couldn't match them

lead was 22 points. The Jaguars are 3-3 in their last six games.

points apiece as Bingham pulled away from Hunter in the third
quarter to earn the Region 3 victory.

quarter and then hit enough of their free throws late to withstand the
Wolverines' rally. Ty Hannay added 10 points for Bingham.

ahead of them in the standings, and let this one get away early. They

fourth-quarter rally, but to no avail. Poole finished with 26 points.

Jan. 6 - Bingham 64, Hillcrest 28
Story of the game: Ben Clifford scored 18 points, but it was
Bingham's defense that dominated play in the Miners' easy
non-region win over Hillcrest.
Bingham's best moment: Bingham held a 21-10 halftime lead, but
the Miners' offense came alive in the third quarter and that started the
blowout. Remington Peck added 12 points for Bingham.
Hillcrest's best moment: The Huskies pride themselves on their
defense, and were still in the game at halftime. Hillcrest needs
offensive help. Jeremy Ulrich had eight points.
Statistical notes: Top scorer Kyle Maughan had just four points for
Hillcrest. Ten points in a half won't win many games. Bingham hit
15-20 free throws (75 percent). The 64 points given up was a season
high for Hillcrest.
What we learned from this game: Bingham is a good team, and the

Story of the game: Ben Clifford had 29 points, 10 rebounds and
seven blocked shots as Bingham upended College Park, Texas, in
overtime on the first day of Maxpreps Holiday Classic in Torrey Pines,
Calif.

then turnovers plagued the team and they had to rally to send it to
overtime, where they outscored College Park 11-7. Remington Peck
had 17 points and Blake Krahenbuhl 13.

Krahenbuhl had three treys for the Miners.

their opponent's quickness. Bingham should come back from this
tournament a better team. College Park is from The Woodlands,
Texas, which is north of Houston.

Dec. 16 - Davis 77, Bingham 67
Story of the game: Trevor Daniels scored 25 points as Davis blew
through Bingham's defense and handed the Miners a surprising loss
on their home floor.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners apparently weren't ready to play.
They trailed 25-15 after the first quarter, but rallied to take a two-point
lead at halftime. Ben Clifford had 15 points and Remington Peck 10,
but this wasn't Bingham at its best.
Davis' best moment: The Darts improved to 2-2 with the win. Daniels
was on fire, and he had help. Jordan Welk had 14, and James
Cowser 13. All told, there were five players in double figures. This was
a great win for Davis, and could change its season.
Statistical notes: How do you figure this? Davis was 19-28 from the
free-throw line. Bingham was 7-11. The Miners gave up 77 points,
which was by far the most they've given up in any game this season.
What we learned from this game: Bingham didn't come to play.
Perhaps the Miners had their upcoming San Diego trip on their mind.
Plus, the Jordan win the other night was a biggie. Bingham isn't good
enough to win without giving an effort. That was proven tonight.
Next: Bingham is done until it plays in a five-day tournament in San
Diego after Christmas. Davis goes to West Jordan today (Dec. 17).

Dec. 12 - Bingham 44, Jordan 37
Story of the game: Ben Clifford scored 12 points and Shad
Sommerville had 11, including a pair of key free throws near the end,
as Bingham hung on to beat Jordan in the Miners' 100th anniversary
celebration game.
Bingham's best moment: The contest attracted a capacity crowd,
including several players from Bingham's former teams. It was a
hard-fought defensive battle and the Miners made the key plays in the
final quarter.
Jordan's best moment: Jordan Bernardo had 11 points and Kevin
Goldsmith 10 for the Beetdiggers, who suffered their first loss. This
game was close all the way. These teams could meet again in
post-season.
Statistical notes: Bingham led 14-11 at halftime. The teams found
their offenses a bit more in the second half. The Miners made just 4-8
free throws, so it was a good idea for Jordan to foul near the end. This
time, Bingham made the shots.
What we learned from this game: This was a good idea for Bingham
and the crowd had a clear affect on the game's outcome. This felt like
a playoff contest. Does Bingham ever lose to Jordan?
Next: Bingham plays Davis at home on Dec. 16. Jordan prepares for
its two-day tournament at home next weekend.

the home team out right away in the second half, pouring in 25
third-quarter points to turn this game into a rout. Bingham was able to
empty the bench later in the game.
Timpanogos' best moment: This was not a winnable game for the
Timberwolves, who fell behind early. Trevor Thomas had 12 points for
Timpanogos, including a pair of three-pointers.
Statistical notes: The game stats resembled Bingham's girls team.
Krahenbuhl had three treys. Nate Girsberger added 13 for the Miners,
who also shot a respectable 16-22 from the free-throw line in an
unfamilar gym.
What we learned from this game: Bingham is 3-0 and has been
impressive. This was a good road win, and is important because the
Miners' preseason schedule is filled with home games.
Next: Bingham returns home and will take on Jordan Friday.
Timpanogos travels to St. George to play in Dixie's tournament.

Dec. 5 - Bingham 59, Bountiful 55
Story of the game: Cody Steffensen scored 17 points and pulled
down 15 rebounds, including a big one after a missed free throw late
in the game, as Bingham rallied from a six-point deficit to upend
Bountiful.
Bingham's best moment: The Bingham defense had been lit up in
the third quarter, outscored 20-15, and trailed 44-38. But Steffensen
keyed the comeback. The Miners also hit 16-18 free throws and
snatched a win in front of the home fans.
Bountiful's best moment: Sean Carey, a 6-7 senior, led the Braves
with 22 points. Coach Mike Maxwell did not attend the game, so the
team was coached by his son, Larry Maxwell.
Statistical notes: Jeff Moncur backed up Carey with 11 points. Blake
Krahenbuhl and Michael Arnell had nine points apiece for Bingham.
What we learned from this game: Steffensen did not start the game,
so his output counts as "bench points." Bingham is a deep team. The
Miners lost a close one at Bountiful last season. We never learned
why coach Maxwell was not at the game. It would have been nice if the
Tribune article could have explained it.
Next: The Miners travel to Timpanogos on Dec. 9. Bountiful goes to
West the same night.

Dec. 2 - Bingham 54, Olympus 40
Story of the game: Size did matter as Bingham rode the scoring of
6-foot-5 Remington Peck and 6-8 Ben Clifford. Peck scored 17 points
and Clifford had 14 as the Miners took the early lead and never
relinquished it in both team's opener.
Bingham's best moment: Peck played a big role in the Miners'
football season, and showed little rust. He even hit a three-pointer.
Bingham led 26-17 at halftime, and didn't let Oly rally.
Oly's best moment: Like their football team, the Titans like the quick
score. Connor Brady nailed four treys, and seven of Oly's 12 baskets
came from the three-point line. Brady led Oly with 15 points, while
Spencer Hille had 11.
Statistical notes: Both teams shot 9-of-17 from the free-throw line.
That's not surprising this early in the season. Both teams will likely
improve dramatically in all parts of the game as the season
progresses.
What we learned from this game: Bingham has the enrollment and
coaching to always be a basketball force. The Miners were among the
late starters for basketball because they figured their football season
would last well into the post-season. Peck is a great athlete, and will
be fun to watch all season.
Next: Bingham will get a test Friday when it hosts 4A power Bountiful.
Oly has a week off before playing at Layton Dec. 9.

Story of the game: Tyler Haws scored 22 points and Lone Peak went
on a 22-2 run in the first quarter and that made the difference in the
Knights 5A semifinal win over Bingham.
Bingham's key moment: The Miners rallied, and eventually closed to
within 46-34 on baskets by Ben Clifford and Remington Peck, but they
could not get closer. Clifford finished with 15 points and Peck had 11.
Lone Peak's key moment: The Knights played their best game of the
tournament and dominated every statistical category. They silenced
Bingham's fans with their early effort. Dillon Smith added 14 points
and Brandon Reeves had 13.
Statistical notes: Smith had four three-pointers for Lone Peak. He hit
three of them in the first quarter. With the exception of the opening
quarter, the teams played pretty evenly.
What we learned from this game: Bingham didn't necessarily play
badly. It was just outplayed by the defending champions.
Next: Bingham finished the season 17-7. Lone Peak advanced to play
West Jordan March 7 in the title game.

Story of the game: Remington Peck scored 18 points and Bingham
took advantage of its depth to hold off a Weber squad in the
quarterfinals of the 5A state tournament.

Nate Girsberger started Bingham's 25-point fourth quarter with a
basket and a layup and the Miners built a 13- point lead. Bingham hit
9-10 shots in the fourth quarter.
Weber's key moment: The Warriors stayed with Bingham with their
hot outside shooting. Weber hit 9-20 shots from three-point range, a
couple of them during a 10-0 third-quarter run that tied the game. But
Weber ran out of gas at that point. Carson Fuller had 19 points and
Ryan Graves 15.

outscored Weber in the key 36-14. Bingham shot 70 percent in the
second half and 56 percent for the game.

attempt, and learned it needs to being its "A" game each night.

second quarter to built a 20-point halftime lead, and then a 10-1 run to

Miners went after Hunter early, claiming a 21-6 lead after the first
quarter. Bingham was never threatened, and had its outside shooting
working as the team nailed seven three-pointers.

as many as 20 points until late in the third period.
Statistical notes: Bingham's rally was helped by eight three-point
baskets. Skyline hit 15-21 free throws, many of those in the fourth
quarter. Kevin Wagstaff added 12 points for Skyline.
What we learned from this game: Bingham had a height advantage,
but it was neutralized by Skyline's scrappy play. The Eagles'
first-quarter lead changed the game. This is the toughest part of
Bingham's season.
Next: Bingham starts Region 3 action Friday (Jan. 16) at Riverton.
Skyline begins Region 2 action at home against Brighton the same
night.

Jan. 9 - Bingham 52, Alta 44 (OT)
Story of the game: Jake Krahenbuhl scored 12 points, but it was
Bingham's defense that made the difference, holding Alta scoreless
in the five-minute overtime session and claiming the non-region
victory.
Bingham's best moment: The game was close throughout, but the
Miners pulled away in overtime. It was 44-all at the end of regulation,
but Alta couldn't score in the extra session. Ben Clifford finished with
10 points, and Nate Girsberger and Shad Sommerville had nine.
Alta's best moment: The Hawks had balanced scoring and stayed
with Bingham to the end. Jordy Brown finished with 11 points and
Ammon Olsen had 10.
Statistical notes: Bingham was 14-20 from the free-throw line, while
Alta was 5-9.
What we learned from this game: Maybe there were a few Bingham
athletes who got some revenge after losing the 5A state football
championship to Alta. Like football, this was a great game that went
down to the end.
Next: Bingham takes on Skyline at home on Jan. 13. Alta opens
Region 2 play at Taylorsville Jan. 16.

Jan. 6 - Bingham 64, Hillcrest 28
Story of the game: Ben Clifford scored 18 points, but it was
Bingham's defense that dominated play in the Miners' easy
non-region win over Hillcrest.
Bingham's best moment: Bingham held a 21-10 halftime lead, but
the Miners' offense came alive in the third quarter and that started the
blowout. Remington Peck added 12 points for Bingham.
Hillcrest's best moment: The Huskies pride themselves on their
defense, and were still in the game at halftime. Hillcrest needs
offensive help. Jeremy Ulrich had eight points.
Statistical notes: Top scorer Kyle Maughan had just four points for
Hillcrest. Ten points in a half won't win many games. Bingham hit
15-20 free throws (75 percent). The 64 points given up was a season
high for Hillcrest.
What we learned from this game: Bingham is a good team, and the
Maxpreps tourney may have made it better. Remember, they took two
teams, so even the JV players got to play.
Next: Bingham takes on rival Alta at home Jan. 9. Hillcrest entertains
Riverton Jan. 8.

Dec. 30 - Tesoro (Calif.) 69, Bingham 57
Story of the game: Brett Gudim scored 22 points as Tesoro took
advantage of Bingham's foul troubles to earn a win at the Maxpreps
Holiday Classic in Torrey Pines, Calif.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners trailed from the start. Shad
Sommerville led the way with 17 points before fouling out. Bingham
trailed 33-22 at halftime, and made a small rally in the third quarter.
Tesoro's best moment: Gudim hit 10-13 free throws and Tesoro was
21-28 at the line as a team. That helped the Titans score 23 points in
the final quarter and prevent a comeback. Cody Wittick had 17 points
for Tesoro.
Statistical notes: Bingham was just 5-6 from the free throw line, and
Sommerville and Michael Arnell fouled out. Sommerville and Nate
Girsberger had three treys each.
What we learned from this game: Bingham finished 1-2 in the
tourney, and its other team was 0-3. The tourney competition,
however, was very tough and should prepare the Miners well for
region play.
Next: Bingham returns home and will play Hillcrest on Jan. 6.

Dec. 29 - Long Beach Poly (Calif.) 75, Bingham 66
Story of the game: Michael Mayes scored 16 points and Shelton
Boykins and Julian Camper had 13 each as Long Beach Poly put
together a second-half rally to beat Bingham at the Maxpreps Holiday
Classic in Torrey Pines, Calif.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners had a big second quarter that
gave them a 42-33 halftime advantage, but Poly dominated after that.
Nate Girsberger had 14 points, while Remington Peck and Ben
Clifford had 12 each.
Long Beach Poly's best moment: Alexis Moore had 10 assists for the
Jackrabbits. They also shot 53 percent from the field, and outscored
Bingham 42-24 in the second half.
Statistical notes: Poly improved to 9-2 with the win. Mayers had four
three-pointers for Poly. Girsberger and Shad Sommerville had a pair
of treys for Bingham.
What we learned from this game: Poly might be the best team
Bingham will play this season. Bingham also has a second team
playing, and gaining experience, in this tournament.
Next: Bingham will play Tesoro, Calif., in its final game of the tourney.

Dec. 27 - Bingham 77, College Park (Texas) 73
Story of the game: Ben Clifford had 29 points, 10 rebounds and
seven blocked shots as Bingham upended College Park, Texas, in
overtime on the first day of Maxpreps Holiday Classic in Torrey Pines,
Calif.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners jumped to a 21-11 lead, but
then turnovers plagued the team and they had to rally to send it to
overtime, where they outscored College Park 11-7. Remington Peck
had 17 points and Blake Krahenbuhl 13.
College Park's best moment: Adam Rowe's nine steals keyed
College Park's defense, and they got back into the game. Garrett
Constance led College Park with 17 points, including three treys.
Statistical notes: Clifford hit 10-13 free throws, and Peck was 6-6.
Krahenbuhl had three treys for the Miners.
What we learned from this game: A big win for Bingham, but it
College Park had 23 steals, so the Miners had trouble dealing with
their opponent's quickness. Bingham should come back from this
tournament a better team. College Park is from The Woodlands,
Texas, which is north of Houston.
Next: Bingham advances to play Long Beach Poly (Calif.).

Dec. 16 - Davis 77, Bingham 67
Story of the game: Trevor Daniels scored 25 points as Davis blew
through Bingham's defense and handed the Miners a surprising loss
on their home floor.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners apparently weren't ready to play.
They trailed 25-15 after the first quarter, but rallied to take a two-point
lead at halftime. Ben Clifford had 15 points and Remington Peck 10,
but this wasn't Bingham at its best.
Davis' best moment: The Darts improved to 2-2 with the win. Daniels
was on fire, and he had help. Jordan Welk had 14, and James
Cowser 13. All told, there were five players in double figures. This was
a great win for Davis, and could change its season.
Statistical notes: How do you figure this? Davis was 19-28 from the
free-throw line. Bingham was 7-11. The Miners gave up 77 points,
which was by far the most they've given up in any game this season.
What we learned from this game: Bingham didn't come to play.
Perhaps the Miners had their upcoming San Diego trip on their mind.
Plus, the Jordan win the other night was a biggie. Bingham isn't good
enough to win without giving an effort. That was proven tonight.
Next: Bingham is done until it plays in a five-day tournament in San
Diego after Christmas. Davis goes to West Jordan today (Dec. 17).

Dec. 12 - Bingham 44, Jordan 37
Story of the game: Ben Clifford scored 12 points and Shad
Sommerville had 11, including a pair of key free throws near the end,
as Bingham hung on to beat Jordan in the Miners' 100th anniversary
celebration game.
Bingham's best moment: The contest attracted a capacity crowd,
including several players from Bingham's former teams. It was a
hard-fought defensive battle and the Miners made the key plays in the
final quarter.
Jordan's best moment: Jordan Bernardo had 11 points and Kevin
Goldsmith 10 for the Beetdiggers, who suffered their first loss. This
game was close all the way. These teams could meet again in
post-season.
Statistical notes: Bingham led 14-11 at halftime. The teams found
their offenses a bit more in the second half. The Miners made just 4-8
free throws, so it was a good idea for Jordan to foul near the end. This
time, Bingham made the shots.
What we learned from this game: This was a good idea for Bingham
and the crowd had a clear affect on the game's outcome. This felt like
a playoff contest. Does Bingham ever lose to Jordan?
Next: Bingham plays Davis at home on Dec. 16. Jordan prepares for
its two-day tournament at home next weekend.

Dec. 9 - Bingham 80, Timpanogos 45
Story of the game: Blake Krahenbuhl and Ben Clifford scored 16
points apiece as Bingham blew out Timpanogos with a big second
half and claimed an impressive win in its first road game.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners led 30-19 at halftime, but blew
the home team out right away in the second half, pouring in 25
third-quarter points to turn this game into a rout. Bingham was able to
empty the bench later in the game.
Timpanogos' best moment: This was not a winnable game for the
Timberwolves, who fell behind early. Trevor Thomas had 12 points for
Timpanogos, including a pair of three-pointers.
Statistical notes: The game stats resembled Bingham's girls team.
Krahenbuhl had three treys. Nate Girsberger added 13 for the Miners,
who also shot a respectable 16-22 from the free-throw line in an
unfamilar gym.
What we learned from this game: Bingham is 3-0 and has been
impressive. This was a good road win, and is important because the
Miners' preseason schedule is filled with home games.
Next: Bingham returns home and will take on Jordan Friday.
Timpanogos travels to St. George to play in Dixie's tournament.

Dec. 5 - Bingham 59, Bountiful 55
Story of the game: Cody Steffensen scored 17 points and pulled
down 15 rebounds, including a big one after a missed free throw late
in the game, as Bingham rallied from a six-point deficit to upend
Bountiful.
Bingham's best moment: The Bingham defense had been lit up in
the third quarter, outscored 20-15, and trailed 44-38. But Steffensen
keyed the comeback. The Miners also hit 16-18 free throws and
snatched a win in front of the home fans.
Bountiful's best moment: Sean Carey, a 6-7 senior, led the Braves
with 22 points. Coach Mike Maxwell did not attend the game, so the
team was coached by his son, Larry Maxwell.
Statistical notes: Jeff Moncur backed up Carey with 11 points. Blake
Krahenbuhl and Michael Arnell had nine points apiece for Bingham.
What we learned from this game: Steffensen did not start the game,
so his output counts as "bench points." Bingham is a deep team. The
Miners lost a close one at Bountiful last season. We never learned
why coach Maxwell was not at the game. It would have been nice if the
Tribune article could have explained it.
Next: The Miners travel to Timpanogos on Dec. 9. Bountiful goes to
West the same night.

Dec. 2 - Bingham 54, Olympus 40
Story of the game: Size did matter as Bingham rode the scoring of
6-foot-5 Remington Peck and 6-8 Ben Clifford. Peck scored 17 points
and Clifford had 14 as the Miners took the early lead and never
relinquished it in both team's opener.
Bingham's best moment: Peck played a big role in the Miners'
football season, and showed little rust. He even hit a three-pointer.
Bingham led 26-17 at halftime, and didn't let Oly rally.
Oly's best moment: Like their football team, the Titans like the quick
score. Connor Brady nailed four treys, and seven of Oly's 12 baskets
came from the three-point line. Brady led Oly with 15 points, while
Spencer Hille had 11.
Statistical notes: Both teams shot 9-of-17 from the free-throw line.
That's not surprising this early in the season. Both teams will likely
improve dramatically in all parts of the game as the season
progresses.
What we learned from this game: Bingham has the enrollment and
coaching to always be a basketball force. The Miners were among the
late starters for basketball because they figured their football season
would last well into the post-season. Peck is a great athlete, and will
be fun to watch all season.
Next: Bingham will get a test Friday when it hosts 4A power Bountiful.
Oly has a week off before playing at Layton Dec. 9.
