High school girls basketball: Springville's perfect season ends perfectly — with a 4A title

"She's just a hustler," said Warner of Park. "She just gets after it and is a competitor. I love watching her compete for our team."

Timpview had some stretches where it looked like it might be fighting its way back into the game. Lauryn Dela Cruz and Lyndie Haddock led the team both offensively and defensively. Haddock finished with 14 points, five rebounds, four steals and two assists, while Dela Cruz added 14 points, five steals and two rebounds.

Timpview head coach Casey Cooke Sundquist reminded her players just how far they'd come in a single season, as the school didn't even make last year's 4A tournament.

"I told the girls, 'Whatever the outcome of this game, you've got to look at where we started and where we've finished,' " she said. "Nobody expected us to be here, and seriously, I'm so proud of my girls."

Nawahine was emotional as she reflected on the season. "This is the best team," she said. And the Utah-bound senior can name her favorite memory of the season without hesitation.

"That moment right there," she said, choking back emotion again, "the final buzzer."
