Feb. 23 - Timpanogos 42, Olympus 17
Story of the game: Morgan Bailey scored 12 points and played a
key role in the Timpanogos defense as the Timberwolves downed
Olympus in the first round of the 4A state tournament.
Oly's highlights: There weren't many as the Titans had trouble
shooting and made just five baskets. However, they shot 7-8 from
the free-throw line. Crystalynn Faletoi led with seven points.
Timpanogos' highlights: Alexa Anderson, Mercedes Riggs and
Bailey got the T-wolves off to a 16-6 start with key baskets, and they
just went on from there. They led 35-15 after three quarters and
Olympus didn't even try to foul late in the game.
Statistical notes: Only 12 free throws were shot in the game. Oly
scored just two points - by Amanda Dibblee - in the fourth quarter.
This was the Titans' lowest-scoring game of the season.
What we learned from this game: Olympus could not match up
with Bailey, and her success played a big role in the rest of the
game. Timpanogos went on to finish second in the tournament.

Feb. 20 - Olympus 32, Logan 29
Story of the game: Amanda Dibblee scored 12 points, including
10 in the second half, as Olympus rallied to beat Logan in a play-in
game of the 4A girls state tournament.
Oly's highlights: The Titans trailed 25-22 entering the final quarter,
but the defense stepped up and Dibblee and Shannah Bass hit
key three-pointers. Carly Duckworth added 10 points.
Logan's highlights: The Grizzlies put up a good fight and stayed
close for most of the game. Bezait Anbasse had nine points and
scored the team's only points in the fourth period.
Statistical notes: Olympus made just 6-18 free throws, including
4-12 in the final period. Arielle Meredith had just one point, which
was her season low. Logan finished with an 8-14 record.
What we learned from this game: Olympus advanced in the 4A
girls state tournament with a close victory, and the Titans felt good
about it.

Feb. 18 - Highland 42, Olympus 31
Story of the game: Beauty Tuakalau scored 12 points and Victoria
Taulanga had a season-high 10 as Highland blew past Olympus
with a big fourth quarter and earned the Region 6 victory.
Oly's highlights: The Titans trailed early, but Carly Duckworth
helped rally the team in the third quarter and Oly took the lead.
Duckworth finished with nine points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Highland's highlights: The Rams outscored Olympus 19-6 in the
final period behind Tuakalau, who had four free throws and a
three-pointer in that span to win their fifth straight game.
Statistical notes: Highland swept the season series. Arielle
Meredith had just five points, but 11 rebounds. Duckworth and
Shannah Bass had three-pointers.
What we learned from this game: This game didn't mean
anything in the Region 6 standings, but it is somewhat of a rivalry.
Highland's size and physicality was the difference again.

Feb. 16 - Woods Cross 49, Olympus 46
Story of the game: Xochian Harry scored 17 of her game-high 20
points in the first half as Woods Cross built a big lead and turned
back Olympus in a Region 6 game.
Oly's highlights: Trailing 30-9 at intermission, the Titans played the
best basketball of the season in the second half. Arielle Meredith
and Carly Duckworth led Oly's huge rally. The Titans even took the
lead, but couldn't hold on.
WX's highlights: The Wildcats dominated in the opening half
behind Harry's exploits. Natalie Parsons made the big scoring
plays late in the game that made the difference.
Statistical notes: Aarika Anderson and Jenny Paget had eight
points each for Woods Cross. Crystalyn Faletoi had eight points for
Oly. Shannah Bass had two three-pointers.
What we learned from this game: The Titans lost, but they didn't

Feb. 12 - Olympus 64, Tooele 40
Story of the game: Shannah Bass had another great game,
scoring 20 points to lead Olympus to a convincing home win over
Tooele in a Region 6 contest.
Oly's highlights: The Titans grabbed a 12-2 lead in the first quarter,
but really broke it open in the third quarter as Bass had three treys
and helped turn a 25-19 lead into a 47-25 margin. Amanda
Dibblee had 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Tooele's highlights: After trailing by 10 points early, the Buffaloes
rallied in the second period and narrowed the gap to six points.
Rylee Mulitalo had 11 points and Mattie Snow 10.
Statistical notes: Oly shot 50 percent (13-26) from the free-throw
line. Dibblee had a rare off night from the line at 2-6. Kelsey Larsen
got in the scoring column with two free throws.
What we learned from this game: Another good win for the Titans,
and they had a lot of players help. Two big games left, and Oly is in
a position to make a difference in region play.

Feb. 9 - Olympus 51, East 17

a big role as Olympus played its best defensive game of the
season in beating East in a Region 6 game.
Oly's highlights: The Titans held East scoreless in the first period
and claimed a 10-0 lead. Arielle Meredith added 12 points and
helped Olympus build a 25-point advantage going into the fourth
quarter.
East's highlights: There weren't many in this game. The Leopards
played without their leading scorer, Arreonte Lee, and couldn't keep
up. Wendy Semeatu topped East with six points.
Statistical notes: Amanda Dibblee had a season-low one point,
but led the team with six rebounds and five assists. Bass had
three treys. Carly Duckworth made six straight free throws.

Story of the game: Kendall Levine scored a season-high 17 points
as Stansbury picked up a big Region 6 win over Olympus.

period, but Shannah Bass got hot and nailed three treys to give Oly
some hope. Dibblee nailed a three in the fourth period, too, and
finished with 14 points. Bass had 13.
Stansbury's highlights: This was one of those rare times when
Marissa Robbins had scoring help. Levine had the game she'll
remember the rest of her life. Robbins had 12 points and 12
rebounds.
Statistical notes: Stansbury led 16-15 at halftime, but outscored
Oly 13-5 in the third period. Oly had six three-pointers. Meredith had
just two points.
What we learned from this game: This was a "trap" game for Oly.
The Titans weren't ready to play this game, and Stansbury made
them pay.

Jan. 29 - Olympus 52, Bountiful 47
Story of the game: Amanda Dibblee had her best game of the
season, knocking down 5-6 free throws in the final minute, as
Olympus held off Bountiful in a Region 6 game.
Oly's highlights: Dibblee scored 10 points in the opening quarter
as Oly built a 19-10 lead. After Bountiful tied the game in the last
minute, Dibblee was fouled and made the pressure free throws
with the game on the line. Shannah Bass had 10.
Bountiful's highlights: The Braves trailed most of the game, but put
together a nice rally behind Samantha Tooley's 13 points to tie the
contest with :47 left. Things went down hill after that.
Statistical notes: Oly ended up 22-35 from the free-throw line.
