Taylorsville's best moment: The Warriors trailed 22-18 at halftime,
but rallied to close within two at the end of the third quarter. Sa'ane
Lo'amanu had 16 points to lead Taylorsville.
Clearfield's best moment: Taylor added 13 points and helped the
Falcons outscore Taylorsville 19-11 in the final quarter. It was - by
far- Clearfield's most explosive quarter of the game.
Statistical notes: Clearfield was 8-17 from the free-throw line.
Taylorsville was 15-24. Sa'ane Lo'amanu had a pair of
three-pointers for Taylorsville.
What we learned from this game: It was the season opener, so it's
hard to figure the affect this game will have. Taylorsville started
slowly last year and still fared well in region play.
Next: Taylorsville plays at Highland on Dec. 2. Clearfield goes to
Skyline the same night.
