South Sevier visited the Spartan Center on Thursday night in what turned out to be an unusual contest. While basketball is often referred to as a game of runs, it rarely plays out like it did when the Rams and Spartans met.
Emery trailed 10-7 before ripping off a massive 25-12 run before the break. The Rams answered back in the third quarter with a run of their own, 19-10, to pull within one point of Emery. The Spartans never flinched, though, and sent the Rams packing 66-56.
Alexia Mortensen scored a game-high 25 points while going 8-15 from the field. Brielle Rowley also stepped up, going 4-5 and finishing with 15 points and five rebounds. Freshman Kenadle Maughan pulled down seven boards while Makalla Peacock logged eight assists and three steals.
Emery (5-3) will now gear up to take on North Sanpete (2-3) on Thursday in Mt. Pleasant.
