extend it. Gabriella Rodriguez scored 11 points.

Bohne and 12 by Marissa Lazenby, and that was the bulk of their

Hills. West Jordan was 7-12 from the free-throw line; Copper Hills

the free-throw line late in the game. Brooke Larsen added 16 points.

second half, and actually had some success, but they were too far
behind. Julie Larsen had 12 points and Marina Leuluai had 10.

deal. For West Jordan to reach the post-season, it needs to

14 points as Bingham built a big lead early, substituted freely, and
whipped West Jordan in each team's Region 3 opener.
West Jordan's best moment: The Jaguars played better in the
second half, scoring 21 of their 30 points. Their offense has been
better lately, but this was never a winnable game.
Bingham's best moment: The Miners led 14-2 after the first quarter
and 32-9 by halftime. Fourteen different players scored for Bingham,
who were never in danger of losing this game.

routs (20 points or more).
