OGDEN, Utah – The quarterfinal round of the 6A tournament features four games from the highest classification in the state of Utah.

The tournament started with 16 teams with only 8 schools remaining that all have the same goal, winning a state championship.

Here are the results from the action at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah:

American Fork 63 – Copper Hills 59

The Grizzlies started out hot from the perimeter and had upset on their minds with a 35-23 halftime lead. The Cavemen erased the lead to tie the game at 42 heading into the fourth quarter. American Fork outscored Copper Hills 21-17 in the final period to pick up the win and avoid the upset.
