Olympus the same night.

three-pointers, as Murray held off Cyprus and withstood a 29-point
effort by Kirstie Henriod.
Cyprus' best moment: Henriod was virtually a one-woman scoring
show, and she had a pair of three-pointers during the game. Cyprus,
however, left some points off the scoreboard by not hitting its free
throws.
Murray's best moment: The Spartans held a 35-27 lead going into
the fourth quarter, but Henriod's scoring pulled Cyprus close and
made it a game. Murray hit enough of its free throws to hang on.

was 10-15. Cyprus outscored Murray 18-15 in the fourth quarter. The

points, and Sanshae Rasmussen added seven. The Pirates stayed
right with Highland the entire first half.
Highland's best moment: The Rams led 39-34 after three quarters,
and hit their free throws late to even expand the margin. Highland
finished 18-27 from the line.

teams combined to shoot 59 free throws.

Story of the game: Carly Duckworth scored 12 points, and had five
steals on defense, as Olympus finally pulled away in the fourth
quarter from an inspired Cyprus team in a Region 6 game.
Cyprus' best moment: Kirstie Henriod was really the Pirates' lone
scoring threat. She had 17 points, but the Cyprus defense is what
kept this game so close. Ashlyn Mulford added eight points.
Oly's best moment: The Titans trailed 15-14 at halftime, but took the
lead in the third quarter and then put Cyprus away in the final period.
Oly was just 11-23 from the free-throw line, but hit enough to hold on
to the win.
Statistical notes: Only three players scored for Cyprus. Oly outscored
Cyprus 11-5 in the fourth quarter. Cyprus was just 1-4 from the
free-throw line. Amanda Diblee had eight points for Oly.
What we learned from this game: This was one of Cyprus' better
games, but it didn't result in a win. Let's see if it can be a
confidence-booster. The team still needs several wins to make the
tournament.
Next: Cyprus goes to Highland on Jan. 30. Murray plays host to
Olympus the same night.

Jan. 23 - Murray 50, Cyprus 48
Story of the game: Ame White scored 16 points and Maddy Woodard
and Eleni Saltas added 12 apiece as Murray held off Cyprus in a
Region 6 game that down to the wire.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates had a chance to win this game,
and perhaps a little better effort from the free-throw line would have
helped. Kirstie Henriod had 13 points, while Sanshae Rasmussen
had 10.
Murray's best moment: The Spartans led 10-5 after the first quarter
and kept the advantage until the final period. The Spartans played
without leading scorer Mariah Duran and were still able to get the win.
Statistical notes: Cyprus was 17-31 from the free-throw line; Murray
was 9-17. Murray had six three-pointers (Saltas 3, White 2, Woodard),
while Cyprus had just one.
What we learned from this game: After starting the season faring
well in close games (3-0), Cyprus has now lost its last three close
ones. Who can figure it?
Next: Cyprus plays at Olympus on Jan. 27. Murray takes on
Cottonwood at home the same night.

Story of the game: Kirstie Henriod scored 24 points and helped
Cyprus pull away during a big second quarter in the Pirates Region 6
win over East.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates outscored East 16-2 in the
second quarter and never gave in to the Leopards' rally attempts.
Henriod was the top scorer, as she has been in every game this
season.
East's best moment: East had the game tied 10-10 after one quarter
and, after falling behind, made a nice effort in the final period when it
scored 21 points. Liz Fetzer led the way with 12 points.
Statistical notes: Ashlyn Mulford chipped in 13 points for Cyprus,
which ended a two-game losing streak. East combined for just 11
points in the middle two quarters.
What we learned from this game: Cyprus improved to 2-4 in region
play and is in sixth place, which is just one spot away from where it
needs to be to earn a post-season berth.
Next: Cyprus takes on Murray at home Jan. 23. East has a home
game against league-leading Olympus the same night.

Jan. 16 - West 51, Cyprus 42
Story of the game: Valencia Manu scored 15 points, and she got
scoring help from Amy Christensen and Rikie Gregg, who had 11
apiece, as West held off Cyprus in a Region 6 game.

second half. They closed the gap to within five points at one time.
Kirstie Henriod led Cyprus with 19 points.
West's best moment: The Panthers built a 22-14 halftime lead,
withstood a Cyprus rally in the third quarter and then rebuilt it with
three-point baskets from Gregg and Manu.
Statistical notes: West had five three-point baskets, led by Gregg
with three. West was just 7-15 from the free-throw line. Cyprus was
10-18.
What we learned from this game: Cyprus fell to 1-4 in region play,
but two of the losses have been by three points or less. Cyprus
needs to change its misfortunes because it is tied for sixth place and
only the top five make it to state.
Next: Cyprus has East at home on Jan. 20. West plays at Olympus
the same night.

Jan. 13 - Cottonwood 43, Cyprus 31
Story of the game: Fehi Fakailoatonga scored a season-high 17
points as Cottonwood rolled to a big first-half lead and downed
Cyprus in a Region 6 game.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates played evenly with Cottonwood in
the second half, but there wasn't much of a comeback. Kirstie
Henriod scored 14 points for lead Cyprus.
Cottonwood's best moment: The Colts' defense won this game,
holding Cyprus to 10 first-half points. Angie Schwartz added nine
points.
Statistical notes: There weren't many fouls called in this game.
Cyprus was 4-5 from the free-throw line and Cottonwood 6-8. Angie
Schwartz had nine points, including a pair of three-pointers.
What we learned from this game: So much for the winning streak.
The offense struggled on this night and was held to a season-low 31
points.

game against Olympus the same night.

Jan. 9 - Cyprus 62, Granger 51
Story of the game: Kirstie Henriod led a balanced scoring attack with
16 points as Cyprus pulled away from Granger in the second quarter
and hung on for its first Region 6 victory.

but dominated the second period to take a nine-point lead. Ashlyn
Mulford had 14 points.
Granger's best moment: The Lancers narrowed the gap in the third
quarter, thanks to the scoring of Vahine Tuigamala. Their offense
fizzled in the fourth quarter.
Statistical notes: Both teams shot free throws badly. Granger was
10-26, and Cyprus 16-34. Kelly Uriarte and Emma Matuauto had 11
points each for Cyprus.
What we learned from this game: This was a convincing win for
Cyprus against a nearby rival after two close region losses. Let's see
what happens now.

Cottonwood on Jan. 13. Granger returns home to take on Olympus
the same night.

Jan. 6 - Highland 53, Cyprus 50
Story of the game: Chanel Roe scored 16 points and Beauty
Tuakalau added 10 as Highland rallied in the fourth quarter and held
off Cyprus in a Region 6 game.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates outscored Highland 19-12 in the
third quarter and the game was close after that. Kirstie Henriod had a
game-high 21 points.
Highland's best moment: The Rams had a big second quarter that
turned an 11-8 deficit into a 24-18 lead. Highland somehow
managed to keep the lead despite shooting 5-14 from the free-throw
line.
Statistical notes: That's two straight bad free-throw shooting games
for Highland, and yet it still won. Cyprus was 18-26 from the line, so
there was a big foul differential.
What we learned from this game: There's no reason for despair.
Cyprus may have opened against two of the best teams in Region 6,
and fell short each time - barely.
Next: Cyprus has a home game against Granger on Jan. 9. Highland
plays host to Olympus the same night.

Jan. 2 - Olympus 42, Cyprus 41
Story of the game: Heather Giffin scored 17 points and Olympus
held off a determined Cyprus comeback in the fourth quarter to claim
the win in the Region 6 opener for both teams.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates made a nice rally in the final
period, led by Kirstie Henriod's 23 points. It marked the first time this
season that Cyprus had not won when the game was close.
Oly's best moment: The Titans led most of the game, but really got
their offense going in the third quarter to take a 35-28 lead. Oly
scored just enough fourth-quarter points to win. Amanda Diblee
added 11 points.
Statistical notes: Oly hit 11-18 free throws, while Cyprus was 6-11.
Henriod had two three-point baskets. Ashlyn Mulford had 10 points
for the Pirates.
What we learned from this game: This was the season opener, and
probably one of many games that will be decided by just a few points.
The good teams learn how to win them and Cyprus had been doing
just that.
Next: Cyprus plays Highland at home on Jan. 6. Oly returns home to
take on Murray the same night.

Dec. 30 - Woods Cross 88, Cyprus 49
Story of the game: Jami Mokofisi scored 21 points and Woods
Cross had its offense in high gear, scoring 50 points in the first half
and rolling to an easy win over Cyprus in a non-region game.
Cyprus' best moment: Trailing 72-35 after three quarters, the Pirates
played tough in the final quarter when WX had hopes of possibly
reaching 100. Kirstie Henriod had a season-high 25 points.
Woods Cross' best moment: The Wildcats actually had a balanced
scoring attack, and scored at will through the first three quarters. The
game was never close. The Wildcats had seven three-pointers.
Statistical notes: The 88 points was a season high for WX and a
season high given up by Cyprus. The Pirates were 22-35 from the
free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: Perhaps it was the Christmas
break that had an affect on Cyprus because it didn't appear the
Pirates were ready to play. Chalk this one up as a learning
experience.
Next: Cyprus opens Region 6 play Jan. 2 at home against Olympus.
Woods Cross goes to Sky View Jan. 6.

Dec. 16 - Clearfield 60, Cyprus 56
Story of the game: Britlie Sylvester scored 18 points and Clearfield
built a lead, and then held off a spirited Cyprus comeback to claim
the non-region win.
Cyprus' best moment: Cyprus trailed 40-31 entering the final quarter,
but Kirstie Henriod (no surprise) led the rally. Henriod finished with a
season-high 33 points.
Clearfield's best moment: The Falcons did a nice job controlling the
tempo and building the lead. Their defense held Cyprus to 10.3
points per quarter until the free-for-all at the end. Shelby Wilcox added
13 points and Jessica Watson 11 for Clearfield.
Statistical notes: Cyprus shot just 50 percent from the free-throw line
(12-24) and left points on the court. The four-point loss was the first
close game the Pirates haven't won this year. Sanshae Rasmussen
had seven points for Cyprus.
What we learned from this game: The loss ended a three-game
win streak, but Cyprus is 4-2 going into Region 6 play and has one of
the most talented players around. Henriod is averaging 26.0 points
per game.
Next: Cyprus plays host to Olympus on Jan. 2. Clearfield takes on
Davis at home Dec. 19.

Dec. 11 - Cyprus 43, Hunter 40
Story of the game: Kirstie Henriod continued her scoring tear,
pouring in 28 points as Cyprus held off Hunter in a non-region game.
Cyprus' best moment: Cyprus held a small lead (25-22) at the end of
the third, but broke the game open by outscoring Hunter 11-5 in the
third period.
Hunter's best moment: The Wolverines rallied in the fourth quarter
and almost pulled out the victory. Latiesha Webster and Innie Patailii
nailed two baskets each from long range, but Hunter couldn't get
another when it needed.
Statistical notes: Cyprus had a big advantage at the free-throw line,
hitting 17-26 shots, compared to 8-12 for Hunter. Ashlyn Mulford had
seven points for Cyprus. Webster led Hunter with 14 points.
What we learned from this game: Once again, the Pirates won a
close game. Now, they're 3-0 in games decided by three points or
less, and are guaranteed to start the Region 6 season with a winning
record.
Next: Cyprus travels to Clearfield Dec. 16. Hunter goes to Hillcrest
the same night.

the second quarter and whipped Ben Lomond on the final day of the
Lady Bear Classic in Tremonton.
Cyprus' best moment: The Pirates led 13-10 after the first quarter,
but outscored Ben Lomond 25-14 in the second period to take a
commanding lead.
Ben Lomond's best moment: The Scots just were not able to keep
up with Cyprus, and ended up losing all three of their games in this
tournament. Partida had 14 points; Hughes had 12.
Statistical notes: Cyprus had a huge free-throw advantage. The
Pirates hit 27-36 charity shots. Ben Lomond was 6-24. Kelly Uriarte
