High school basketball: Little David takes care of Goliath as Northridge upsets Layton

"I thought, No. 1, we really rebounded well and then I thought we took care of the basketball," Coach Sims said. "I thought those were two keys going into the game that we knew we had to do really well, and I think we did that. ... I'm proud of the way our kids played hard and competed. "I thought our kids were patient, I thought we moved the ball really well, and that's one thing I feel like we've got is these kids like each other and their chemistry is really good, so it makes it easy to coach them.

"They're our crosstown rivals so our kids have grown up playing against 'em and they know who they are," Sims said of the Lancers after that undersized guy named David and his tough teammates took down "Goliath" one more time. "It wasn't a secret, we knew they were big and our kids know their kids really well. ... We've been undersized against everybody ... so we're used to it. The kids kind of thrive off of it."
