An explosive 19-point
first quarter propelled the
girls basketball team to
a 66-17 victory over the
Dayville/Monument girls
Friday.
Panthers head coach Bo
Workman said the team
continues to play well.
“They played with inten-
sity, got back on defense,
and stayed in their lanes,”
Workman said.
In the final seconds of
the game, junior Aleah
Johns hit a half-court shot
to close out the game.
“I got the ball, and coach
(Workman) said to shoot
it,” Johns said. “I thought
it was going to bounce off
the backboard. It surprised
me when it hit nothing but
the net.”
Next up, the girls will
host Jordan Valley (10-4,
1-1) at 2 p.m. Saturday.
