‘We’ve got to get that kid:’ Corner Canyon’s 5-star Kemery Martin is a breakthrough recruit for Utah, playing in this week’s 5A state tournament.

Taylorsville • Kemery Martin launched a 3-pointer from the left corner, and the ball took two big bounces off the rim before settling into the net. She smiled.

The shot in the second quarter Tuesday was a sign that this year’s first-round game of the Class 5A state tournament would turn out better for Corner Canyon High School. Having absorbed a major upset last February, the Chargers opened the 2019 event with a 62-48 win over Springville, with Martin producing 25 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

The Draper school will play Farmington in Thursday’s quarterfinals at Salt Lake Community College.
