High school girls basketball: Richfield sends beloved coach Marc Peterson into retirement with a fourth 3A state championship

Within the confines of the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield, 24-year coaching veteran Marc Peterson stood on the sidelines and watched the last game of his coaching career unfold, and as the clock struck zero, he walked off the hardwood for the final time as a champion. No. 2 Richfield delivered on its goal of bringing a fourth and final championship to its beloved coach, fighting off an opposing rally from No. 5 Emery to seal a 56-49 victory and claim the 2023-24 3A girls basketball state championship in front of an overwhelming host of blue-clad Wildcat fans.
