The Emery Lady Spartans continued to take care of business by winning their fifth consecutive region contest by double-digits, topping the San Juan Broncos 71-35 Thursday evening in Blanding.

Megan Jensen led all scorers with 22 points in the blowout win. Lainee Jensen continued her hot shooting streak with 16 points, and Kinlee Toomer finished with 11. Again clearing the bench, Emery had eight different players score at least two points.

Emery wasted little time developing a comfortable lead, outscoring San Juan 34-5 in the opening quarter. The final three quarters were a formality as the Lady Spartans won by 30 or more points for fourth time during the region season.
