Blue Devils upset

The Davis High girls basketball team couldn’t find the basket on Friday and fell 43-41 to Valley, a team that had not won a game in league play. The Blue Devils shot 23.7 percent from the field for the contest.

Nikol Allison had 18 points and 20 rebounds – eight of which were offensive – to lead the DHS (10-10, 4-2 Delta Valley Conference) while Torryn Taylor had eight points and eight rebounds.

Torryn Taylor made one of two free throws to tie the game up at 41 with 26.5 seconds left. After a pair of misses by the Vikings (7-13, 1-5), Allison got the rebound and DHS called a timeout.

The ball went to Allison, whose shot missed. In the scrum for the rebound, Shelby Ferguson fouled Catalina Corpez, who sank both free throws with 2.9 on the clock. The Blue Devils were unable to get a final shot off.

The DHS boys basketball team (3-16, 0-6) also fell, losing 60-47 at Valley.
