PG Girls Lose Home Game to Springville Red Devils Early in the second half, Danyele Hoffman joined Clem-ent and Olson in battling Red Devils for rebounds. Those three Vikings' efforts delayed Springville from pushing its lead past the 20-poi- nt mark until Nielsen sank a shot on an Eaton pass to put the score at 46-2- 6. The Red Devils stayed up by at least 20 points until mid-way through the fourth period when Clement put a shot b.ick in to cut the lead to 59-4- 1 . The game ended with Viking Taylor Warburton sinking a foul shot that trimmed the Red Devil lead to 18 points. Olson led Pleasant Grove with 10 points while Clement added another eight by Dean Von Memmott In a preseason girls' basketball game at Pleas-ant Grove December 7, the Springville Red Devils scorched the Pleasant Grove Vikings 69-5- 1. The hottest Red Devil on the floor that night, Lexi Ea-ton, seared Pleasant Grove through scoring 21 points to become the evening's top point-make- r. No matter what Viking Coach Glenn Larson could do to have his girls try cooling Eaton down, she kept the nets burning on both ends of the floor during halves of the contest. Her teammate Kenzie Nielson posted 12 points for the night while do-ing a lot of destruction inside the keyhole. Pleasant Grove did enjoy a 4-- 3 lead during the game's first two minutes. However, once the Red Devils commenced feeding the ball to Eaton, the Vikings quickly lost the opportunity to exorcise them. During the first quarter, the Vikings did stay with Springville. Kourtney Dine-ha- rt hit a trey to keep Pleas-ant Grove within striking dis-tance of the Red Devils. By the first quarter's end, Springville led the Vi-kings 17-1- 3. Eaton delivered her most fierce blows in the early second quarter. Eaton plagued the Vikings with steals and highly accurate shooting. Teammates Kenzie Niel-son and Jasmine Hansen gave Vikings Becky Clement and Janae Olson in fights for re-bounds. Olson's shooting en-abled Pleasant Grove to keep the point spread in single digits. Once an Eaton trey put the score at 29-1- lead-ing in double figures quickly proved to be what Springville would be doing for the rest of the night. Aided by a Dinehart foul shot, Britney and Marci John-son's foul shooting brought Pleasant Grove within 32-2- 1 at halftime.
