You Can't Beat Us! You Can't Beat Us! These were the words that echoed through the Dee Events Center, during the 2011 5A State Basketball Championship, when the Lone Peak Knights got passed the American Fork Cavemen for the third time this season. The Knights are now ranked #10 in the Nation, #1 in the State, and they have shown that they truly do deserve this sort of recognition. Sophomore, Nick Emery, completed the season with 542 points and 73 3-pointers, to help his team win the 5A Crown. None of this was easy. Lone Peak came across a scare when the Fremont Silverwolves gained a 17 point lead in the first half of the semi-final game, but when a die hard fan, Tyler Johnson, was asked, "Are you scared? Do you think that we will win now?" His response was, "Do you see that man crouched down on the side of the court? Ya! He is the best coach in the state...Don't worry, We Will Win!" And that is exactly what happened, the Knights came back, closed that gap, and beat Fremont by three, to advance to the State Finals and win their 5th State Title, which is also Coach Lewis' 4th, since he started coaching in 2003. Any way you look at it, the Lone Peak Knights are now State Champions and one of the Nations Top Teams.
