in the fourth quarter. It had to be a high point so far.

quarter to try to make the score look more respectable. Sharon

was 5-11. Lyman has Tooele's only three-pointer. Helsten had a pair

quarter and 42-14 at halftime. They emptied the bench in the second

Canyon, and the most given up by Tooele. Rylee Mulitalo had six for

Region 7 season without a win, and the region season doesn't look
too hopeful either.

plays host to Riverton Dec. 30.

but outscored Pine View 16-15 in the second period to keep it close
at halftime. Rylee Mulitalo had a season-high 15 points.

Lavekihelotu scored 13 points and Granger put together a great third
quarter to beat Tooele and end its two-game losing streak.

just 10 baskets, but was 10-16 from the line. Lyman had a couple of
three-pointers.

especially when you know it's close. Things won't get easier either.

road trip. Granger has a home game against Hillcrest Dec. 19.

looked back in its rout of Tooele.

quarter. There was no much to cheer about after that as Tooele was
held to less than 30 points for the third time in six games.

outscoring Tooele 22-5 in the second quarter, and then 16-4 in the
third period.

to a 17-4 lead after the first quarter. They were able to empty their
bench after that.
Statistical notes: The Buffs were 8-23 from the free-throw line. This
was Logan's first road game, and it passed the test easily.

Story of the game: Chanel Roe scored 26 points and Highland
controlled the middle two quarters and held on to beat Tooele in a
non-region game.
Tooele's best moment: The Buffaloes were in control in the first
quarter, which had to give them a lot of confidence. Tooele played
evenly with Highland in the fourth period, but the game was decided
by then.

and then dominated. They took the lead at halftime, then built a big
lead after three quarters. Kave’ Lea’aetoa had 11 for Highland.

throw line. Tooele dropped to 0-4 with the loss. Highland held the
Buffaloes to just five points in the third quarter.

out Tooele in both the first and third quarters en route to a convincing
win in the Spartans' season opener.

Tooele simply had trouble scoring in this game. Sharon Lyman had
five points for Tooele.
Murray's best moment: Murray led 12-5 after the first quarter, and 23-
15 at halftime. The Spartans then outscored Tooele 15-5 in the third
period.
Statistical notes: The 23 points was a season low for the Buffs, and
would have be a low for the entire season last year. Duran had two
three-pointers for Murray.
What we learned from this game: This was a winnable game, but
Tooele just didn't bring any offense. If things don't improve soon, this
will be a long season.

Judge Memorial at home Dec. 5.

Buffaloes matched Box Elder in scoring in the fourth quarter. Sharon
Lyman had eight points to lead Tooele.
Box Elder's best moment: The Bees had this game won early and
earned their first victory of the season. Box Elder was able to empty
its bench. Eleven players scored for the Bees.

double figures until almost halftime. Kylee Harris and Kelcey
Stephenson had six points apiece. The referees let the teams play
as only 14 free throws were attempted the entire game.

game wasn't competitive. The Buffaloes may be in a rebuilding
season.

goes to Pocatello to take on Highland (Idaho).

quarter, coming from a nine-point deficit to take the lead. Tooele hit
23-32 free throws, which kept them in the game.

shooting attempts show. Sharon Lyman had a game-high 13 points
for Tooele.

shooting (12-34).

Buffaloes trailed 40-18 at halftime and never mounted a rally.

Payson's best moment: The Lions poured it on throughout the
game, even outscoring Tooele 34-11 in the second half. Ten different
players scored.

Dec. 19 - Snow Canyon 86, Tooele 34
Story of the game: Taylor Barney had 17 points and eight rebounds
as Snow Canyon put this game away early and routed Tooele in a
non-region game.
Tooele's best moment: While the game was never in dispute,
Sharon Lyman scored a season-high 19 points for Tooele. The trip to
Southern Utah didn't go well as it resulted in two big losses.

quarter and 42-14 at halftime. They emptied the bench in the second
half 13 players scored.

Canyon, and the most given up by Tooele. Rylee Mulitalo had six for
Tooele.
What we learned from this game: This was a tough road trip,
playing two good teams. The loss means Tooele goes into the
Region 7 season without a win, and the region season doesn't look
too hopeful either.
Next: Tooele opens region play at Payson Jan. 6. Snow Canyon
plays host to Riverton Dec. 30.

free throws, which is its best percentage all season. Tooele made
just 10 baskets, but was 10-16 from the line. Lyman had a couple of
three-pointers.

especially when you know it's close. Things won't get easier either.

road trip. Granger has a home game against Hillcrest Dec. 19.

would have be a low for the entire season last year. Duran had two
three-pointers for Murray.

Tooele just didn't bring any offense. If things don't improve soon, this
will be a long season.
