Game Summary
Game Summary: To be honest, this game was hard to watch and frustrating for Lehi fans. Of course, the officials had their part in the frustration and the girls had a hard time scoring against Payson. The Lions had a slight height advantage which made it tough for Lehi to get many good shots in the paint. To make matters worse, the three-point shots were not finding the bottom the net as they have in the past games. Many people, (especially me) thought this would be an easy win for the team. Hense, frustrating and hard to watch. Lehi comes away with only a three -point win. Addy Scrivner led all scorers with 20 points.
