The Lone Peak boys' basketball team made a huge statement on Friday night by beating American Fork 55-40. Besides being its prime rival, the Cavemen are considered one of the top contenders to challenge the Knights for the Class 5A title. Star junior guard Nick Emery spoke about the win and the rivalry after the game.
