The girl's basketball team has opened up its season with three big wins. The first was November 22nd, over Olympus, 54-38. The second was last Tuesday, over Payson, 54-23. The third was against Snow Canyon, 49-42. In all three games, the team played stellar defense, holding their opponents to single digit scoring in almost every quarter of each game.
