We put a ton of pressure on our guys to make sure that that’s what we’re going to be known for, so on a night where we don’t shoot great and (our) offense is out of rhythm and PG does a great job of just mucking up that side of the floor, (I love) that we can rely on the fact that we can get stops and rebound to win games and we don’t just have to be an offensive sided team.”Springville star senior center Jamyn Sondrup played a huge role in the Red Devils’ gritty win, clogging the paint, rebounding and scoring nearly half of his team’s points to ultimately will it to victory. Sondrup ended the night with a game-high 27 points, including all of Springville’s points in the fourth quarter and half of its overtime tally. A pair of pivotal free throws from the big man in the extra time gave the Red Devils a four point lead with 1:10 to play and shifted the pressure to a Vikings squad that had gone cold on offense.
