Fremont fends off Layton's late charge to earn region win

Layton • A home loss in what’s expected to be a tight Region 1 girls basketball race isn’t necessarily a cause for panic.

The visiting Silverwolves ran their early season region record to a perfect 5-0 by beating Layton 42-39 as Fremont led from start to finish, although the end did give the home Lancers an opportunity to tie with a late 3.

It was a chance that went by the boards when Layton’s Brenda Gallegos was unable to get her last-second shot to the backboard as time ran out.

The 3-point tries that mattered most to Layton coach Van Price were early in the ballgame, and that’s where adjustments need to be made for the next encounter.
