We asked Corbyn Hansen, who had 6 points and led the team in assists, about his thoughts about the game. He said, “We were hurting them in the first half, but they came out strong in the second half.” He then commented about the team’s defensive strength as they only gave up 4 points in the 4th quarter. We then asked him about our next matchup in the Quarterfinals against the Orem Tigers. He responded by saying, “Their players are great guys, but we got some bad blood, and we don’t like their school.” Some strong words from the junior. Timpview plays Orem on Saturday the 24th at 9:30 am at the University of Utah basketball court called the Huntsman Center. Be there to support Timpview and witness more history.
