Grantsville’s Sammie Jensen scored 72 points in the last four victories for the Cowboys and was named as one of the top three players of the week in the state. Jensen is 13th in scoring per game in the state and a great leader for her team, according to the coach. The 6-foot tall Jensen can play anywhere on the floor, hit the 3-point shot and post up inside. She has recorded four straight double-doubles. Grantsville is currently on a five-game winning streak after defeating Lehi 71-53 on Tuesday and will host No.1-ranked Carbon on Jan. 6.

Jazz road trip
The Utah Jazz concluded their five-game road swing on Tuesday night with a 94-86 loss to Milwaukee. The Jazz finished the trip east with a 2-3 record . The Milwaukee Bucks entered the game with a pair of wins including a 119-85 throttling of the L. A. Clippers on Saturday night. The Jazz are still playing without the services of Carlos Boozer. At Monday’s practice another Jazzman joined Boozer on the sidelines, Deron Williams did not participate in Monday’s drills due to a right calf contusion he suffered in the Chicago game Saturday night, but returned on Tuesday night to score 17 points in the losing effort while Andre Kirilenko led the way with 22 points. Other injuries include Jarron Collins, who is still out with an injured right elbow, and Carlos Boozer who is awaiting the results from a third MRI following two inconclusive MRI checkups. This is the second and final meeting between these two teams for the 2008-09 campaign; Utah took the first game 105-94 back on Nov. 19, the very game in which Carlos Boozer was initially injured. The Jazz are 40-40 all-time against the Bucks and had won 8-straight versus the team from Wisconsin until tonight’s loss. The Jazz will host Dallas on Friday and play at Houston on Saturday.
