Riverton's star leads 5A past 4A

MURRAY — Kim Gamblin never expected to be playing basketball two weeks after her high school season ended.

"I never even dreamed of having this opportunity," said Gamblin after she and the other 5A senior All-Stars defeated the 4A All-Stars 80-76 at Murray High School Friday night. "I never thought I was this good . . . I loved it! I loved playing with such talented players."
