Stansbury starts slow in 17-point loss ♦ Wednesday’s non-region game against Cyprus couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start for the Stansbury boys basketball team. The Stallions went more than seven minutes without a field goal, a stretch during which the Pirates rattled off 19 unanswered points. When the dust settled, the Stallions were down 21-5, and had nearly twice as many turnovers as they did points. Even the national anthem went wrong during pregame when the recording cut out, though the smattering of fans from both schools in the bleachers finished the song a capella. And while Stansbury mounted a furious comeback, the Stallions ultimately ran out of gas in the end. Class 6A Cyprus used a 14-3 fourth-quarter run to pull away for a 70-53 win at Stansbury High School — the Pirates’ fourth in five games to open the 2020-21 season.
