Dallin Holker led Lehi scoring with 23 points. Kevin Winsor and Ethan Tuckett also contributed double figures with 14 and 10 points, respectively.
In addition to the exciting win, Lehi had a “Miracle Minute” during half-time to raise funds for assistant basketball coach, Andy Hadfield’s daughter, 4 year-old Andelyn, who is battling stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer. The crowd was encouraged to donate funds that would be donated to the Hadfield family for one minute during half-time. The results were impressive as the crowd donated over $800 in just 60 seconds.
