The Tooele girls ran into a couple of tough teams from Southern Utah this weekend. On Thursday Tooele faced Pine View and only trailed 28-23 at half-time. However, the second half was a different story as the Panthers out-scored the Buffaloes 27-6 in the third quarter en route to a 76-36 victory. Rylee Mulitalo led the Buffs with 15 points while Sharon Lyman added 11 in the loss. Lyman had a big game Saturday against Snow Canyon with 19 points but the Warriors proved too powerful for the Buffaloes. Behind Taylor Barney’s 17 point performance, Snow Canyon jumped out to a 43-14 half-time lead and never looked back. Next up for the Buffaloes is when they open up Region 7 play at Payson on Jan. 6 at 5:15 p.m.
