Another week brought two more lopsided victories for the Bear River girls lacrosse team, putting them within one win of clinching the Region 11 title outright and setting them up for a top position in the upcoming state playoffs.
The Lady Bears continued a five-game home stand last week, hosting Mountain Crest and Sky View and blowing out both opponents by scores of 17-3 and 17-2, respectively.
Against the Mustangs on Tuesday, Kierstead had five goals, Bailey Bjorn scored four times and Brooke Thompson had an assist to go with three goals. Bentley Lorimer picked up 12 ground balls and Sydney Wilkinson had seven.

Just when things appeared to be at their worst in Tuesday night’s non-region game against Bear River, the Stansbury girls basketball team was at its best.
The Stallions trailed by nine points entering the fourth quarter and hadn’t shot well all night, but suddenly found their stride on both ends of the court as they put together a 12-4 run to close to within a point of the Bears in the final seconds. However, thanks to some key late free throws, and a missed 3-pointer that would have tied the game, Bear River escaped Stansbury High School with a 45-40 victory.
