Ogden • It took a half for Pleasant Grove to round into form at Tuesday’s Class 6A boys’ basketball state tournament.

It was the complete opposite after halftime. Pleasant Grove played with an energy and intensity that was lacking in the earlier stages of the game.

“They did pretty much whatever they wanted in the first half,” Pleasant Grove coach Randy McAllister said. “West Jordan only had one turnover at halftime, and that’s not acceptable.”

West Jordan shot 5 of 12 on 3-pointers in the first half but just 4 for 15 in the second half.
