Despite five treys from freshman Kacelyn Toomer, the Delta Rabbits ran away from the Emery Lady Spartans Tuesday night in the 48-37 win.

The 2A defending champion Rabbits jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead in the first quarter, leading by as many as 13 points before Emery cut it to 10, 19-9, by the end of the quarter.

Toomer and Abbie Huntington connected on back-to-back buckets and Lainee Jensen hit a runner in the lane with under two minutes to play in the half to cut the Delta lead to four, 25-21. The Rabbits scored the final three points of the half to lead 28-21 at the break.

After a quick 5-0 spurt by Delta to open the third to lead 33-21, both teams traded buckets for the rest of the quarter, including two threes by Toomer.

Another Toomer three pulled Emery the closest it would get in the half, 43-35, three minutes into the fourth before Delta extended its lead back to 13 by the end of the game.

Toomer scored a career-high 15 points. She also nabbed five boards in the game. No other player scored more than four points. Huntington and Jessica Olsen combined to grab 16 rebounds.

Emery (2-3, 0-0 Region 15) will be right back at it Wednesday night at home against South Sevier at 7 p.m. The game will be streamed live at the following website: https://etvnews.com/livesports/etv-10-2-live-stream/
