In a girls' basketball game at Lehi Dec. 12, the Brighton Bengals, AKA the Bad Old Puddy Tats, drained the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 76-53.
The game opened with Bad Old Puddy Tat Alyssa "Sweet" Hirschi taking a tipoff and passing to Dandy Dani Barton for a bucket. Adelyn Clements foul shots evened the game at two, but the Bad Old Puddy Tats pounced ahead 6-2. Froggie Terra Tahbo hit a foul shot in hopes of stirring up a Lehi rally, but a Lindsey Johnson trey improved Brighton's lead at 9-3.
Shots from Clements, Lia Smith, and Abbi "Chihuahah" Padilla moved the Froggies 21-14, but Barton's hot shooting kept the Bad Old Puddy Tats' lead from dropping under the seven-point mark.
In the second quarter, two foul shots from Sweet Hirschi improved the Bad Old Puddy Tat lead at 25-14. Even though Froggie Bryanna Raff scored on an offensive rebound to cut the lead to 25-16, the Bad Old Puddy Tats had the momentum needed to push their lead back into double figures. They also held the Froggies to four points in the period. Aided by teammate Brook "Marty" Ingles, Johnson and Barton's shooting kept the Bad Old Puddy Tats ahead by more than 10 points for the entire quarter. When halftime arrived, they commanded a 39-18 lead.
The second half opened with Johnson sinking a baseline shot, indicating that the Froggies would get mauled even worse by the Bad Old Puddy Tats. Froggie Mikaylaya Nelson hit a trey that sparked a better scoring effort by Lehi in the third quarter. However, the Froggies still couldn't shut down Barton and Johnson, who enabled the Bad Old Puddy Tats to pull more than 30 points ahead. Clements, Raff, and Lexy Granthem guided Lehi in scoring. The Froggies managed to score 15 points in the quarter.
In the final quarter, the Brighton bench let its jayvees receive most of the game time. This allowed the Froggies, guided by Clements and Raff, to outscore the Bad Old Puddy Tats 20-11 in the quarter; however, Brighton had acquired such a huge lead that Clements and Raff couldn't do much damage to it.
Clements led Lehi with 21 points while Raff added another eight. Barton led the Bad Old Puddy Tats with 21 while Johnson added another 19, Ingles 11, and Hirschi 10.
