Timpview avoids third-quarter lull to take down Skyline in state semifinal

Taylorsville • On those long, sometimes boring winter afternoons when the Timpview girls’ basketball team lacked intensity, coach Aimee Dorais knew exactly what to do.

Pope did a bit of everything. She scored 14 points, hauled down nine rebounds, dished out six assists and had a block and a steal. Perhaps most important, she did a fine job defending Eagles star Madison Grange, who is headed to Utah Valley.
