Taylorsville • As one of only two seniors on Bingham’s girls’ basketball team, Maggie McCord needed to show leadership and heart if the Miners were going to win their first state title since 2007.
That’s exactly the kind of game McCord turned in as Bingham ruined rival Copper Hills’ hopes of winning its first ever 6A title by capturing a 46-41 win at Salt Lake Community College Saturday.
Only 6.2 miles separate these two massive high schools in the southwest corner of Salt Lake County. But McCord’s game of 25 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals provided just enough distance for Bingham to beat its rival.
