High school boys basketball: Pair of Wasatch players trying to follow in the footsteps of their older brothers

Both Pelo and Murdock realize that to win a championship — like their brothers did together — it takes a total team effort. And Pelo knows to go all the way, the Wasps must stick to what has worked for them all year. "Play tough defense. Take advantage of the opportunities that come your way," Ben said.

“They (the 2011 Wasatch team) played with such intensity,” said Murdock, “that you can’t help but know that works.”

As Wasatch forges on to the 3A semifinals, one can't help but take heed of the words of brothers. After all, nothing speaks like experience.
