HS Girls Basketball: No. 7 Wyoming East knocks off No. 4 Logan

Sophomore Reagan Bower scores a career high 19 points to pace the Lady Warriors

Following a 6-0 start to open the season, Wyoming East ran into a brick wall.

A grueling schedule, combined with injuries, sent the Lady Warriors on a four-game skid.

Monday night, Wyoming East was back in the win column against regional foe Midland Trail, but still played without starter Abi Baker.

Thursday night when the Class AA No. 7 ranked Lady Warriors hosted No. 4 Logan, the band was back together, and it showed.

Shaking off a slow start, Wyoming East fired up its engines to take a 62-47 win over the Lady Wildcats.

Wyoming East head coach Ryan Davidson talked about the win over Logan.

Through the first 10 minutes of the contest, the Lady Warriors managed just seven points and trailed, 19-7.

Just when it looked as if Wyoming East was headed for another tour on the struggle bus, the home time found itself.

Outscoring Logan 17-6 over the final six minutes of the opening half, the Lady Warriors went to the locker room trailing by only one point, 25-24.

It was a sign of things to come.

The third quarter was vintage Wyoming East basketball.

Riding the first half momentum, the Lady Warriors stepped on the gas pedal, going on a 17-6 run and when the third period horn sounds, Wyoming East led 48-35.

The 24-point third quarter featured, six points from Baker and four from Coley Tolliver.

However, the biggest impact came from sophomore Reagan Bower who had three triples and a total of 11 points in the period.

Making the rally even more impressive was the fact that senior standout Kyndal Lusk missed most of the quarter after picking up her fourth foul.

Lusk did not have her typical scoring night, but her presence was crucial in the final period.

Six straight points from the Lady Wildcats in the opening minute brought Lusk back in the game where she calmed the turbulent water for the Lady Warriors.

Logan managed to whittle the lead down to five points with 4:20 to play, but was unable to score over the remainder of the contest.

Bower led East with 19 points, while Baker had 16. Rylee Brown added 13 points and had nine rebounds. Coley Tolliver also had nine boards and five steals.
