Corner Canyon Chargers (15-8) | 21 | 19 | 20 | 0 |
vs Bingham Miners (16-5) | 25 | 25 | 25 | 3 |
Top seeded Bingham looked like one of the most polished teams in the first day of the 6A state tournament. The Miners finished the day with a 3-0 sweep of No. 16 Weber in the second round and a 3-0 sweep of No. 9 Corner Canyon in the quarterfinals. “We did well, we really did but we can be better,” said Bingham head coach Ben Chamberlain. “We've seen them be better. We can't let up now. We will only get better teams from here on up, but we came in strong. We got 6-0 and can't be mad about that. I know we could play better, but we can't be mad about a good start.” The Miners were led by JJ Failvae with 11 kills, but also had an attack variety with Jerico Jones’ five kills and Brody Siddoway and Jackson Whitehead each getting four. The defense was also strong for Bingham as Siddoway, Jones, Failvae and Ethan Peterson all picking up two blocks in the quarterfinal win. Bingham lost to Pleasant Grove in last years quarterfinal and looks forward to making a potential championship run. “This group is just so determined, so disciplined,” Chamberlain said. ‘They're all friends and we have the best staff here with so much input. We're just so well-rounded as a whole program.”
