The atmosphere was just right for a great rivalry game with our neighboring high school to the south, and approximately approx-imately 1,200 fans in the gym kept the decibles elevated. Pleasant Grove ripped off a first quarter lead of 18-6 because be-cause senior guards, Taylor All-red, All-red, Cory McCallister and Cade Wilkes, kept hitting 3 point bombs and T center, junior Alan Hamson kept blocking shots. During the second quarter, the T-Wolves recovered somewhat, some-what, and outscored the Vikings 13-9, but at the half, PG was still on top, 27-19. After the half time break, the Vikings rallied their offense and defense and came back to outscore Timpanogos 14-9 and ended the fourth quarter with 13 more points. At the end of the game, PG recorded their first home game win of the young Guard Zach Faux breaks down the T-wolves defense while dribbling the ball.
