Emery routs Grantsville 59-31 for 3A girls’ basketball state championship; Beaver edges Kanab 54-52 for 2A title

The Emery High girls’ basketball team’s 59-31 win over Grantsville netted it a 3A state title on Saturday at Snow College in Richfield.

The win gave Emery its second straight 3A title and helped it reach a 25-0 season. Both Grantsville and Emery were top seeds in the tournament.

Beaver High won the 2A state championship with a 54-52 victory over Kanab at Weber State University in Ogden.

Beaver led by seven in the fourth quarter, but Kanab cut its deficit to just one late. A free throw gave Beavers the two-point lead as they held on to win a game that was close throughout. Beaver finished in fourth place in last season’s 2A tournament.
