For everything that went wrong for No. 6 seed Morgan in the first two sets against No. 3 seed American Leadership in the 3A quarterfinals on Friday, suddenly everything went right the rest of the match. The Trojans improved their execution and dug themselves out of a big hole as they rallied 17-20, 20-25, 25-17, 25-15, 15-8 to secure its place in Saturday’s 3A semifinals against North Sanpete. “It’s just the realization that if we don’t take this next set we’re done, All of a sudden that normally snaps them out of there pretty effectively. Proud of the way they responded. I knew they had that in them because we’ve done it before,” said Morgan coach Kyle Komenda. Jack Komenda had another big game to key the rally for Morgan as he tallied 18 kills, with Christian Nunez Nunez adding eight kills and 10 blocks. After Morgan regrouped in the third set, coach Komenda said his players refused to relinquish momentum. “We had such a strong third set that we had the momentum and we were greedy with that momentum and didn’t let it go,” he said. Freshman setter Caleb Stephens dished out 36 assists in the win, with Dex Wallin contributing six blocks, six kills and three digs.
