Elizabeth Smart, at 25, has done quite a bit in life. She’s landed a prime gig as a commentator for ABC News. She’s served a Mormon mission in Paris, where she met her future husband, and has a foundation in her name through which she advocates for greater protections for children. That last one is very much personal for Smart, who at age 14 was taken at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City home by a self-proclaimed prophet and his wife, who held her captive for more than nine months.

After Wednesday’s 109-102 win over #3 Hargrave, it was understandable that #4 Fishburne might come out of the gates with a Hargrave hangover two nights later against a team that it had beaten by 39 points earlier in the season. That didn’t make the first eight minutes – which featured one, count ’em, one, FMS field goal and a 2-for-6 performance at the foul line – any more palatable. “We just came out flat,” said Caissons coach Ed Huckaby, whose team took control with a 27-3 first-half run en route to what turned out to be an easy 99-72 win Friday night in the opener of the FMS Enterprise Car Rental Classic.
