Basketball Game Preview: Salem Hills Skyhawks vs. Provo Bulldogs + Official Tickets

The Salem Hills Skyhawks will venture away from home to face off against the Provo Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Salem Hills is leaving town to face Provo after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Skyhawks took a 57-53 hit to the loss column at the hands of Viewmont on Tuesday.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Alexa Vance, who posted 20 points in addition to six rebounds and three steals. Another player making a difference was Anna Richardson, who went 5-for-6 on her way to 12 points along with five boards and three steals.

Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Provo's strategy against Cottonwood on Wednesday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Bulldogs blew the Colts out of the water with a 60-32 final score. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Bulldogs had established a 24-point advantage.

Provo's win came from a few key players Salem Hills will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Asha Alletto, who put up 12 points and five steals. Those five steals gave her a new career-high. Sage Yenchik was another key player, almost dropping a double-double with 11 points and nine assists.

Salem Hills lost to Provo on the road by a decisive 59-40 margin in their previous meeting back in February of 2023. Can the Skyhawks avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
