Springville Red Devils (15-10) | 14 | 19 | 16 | 0 |
vs Bountiful Redhawks (26-6) | 25 | 25 | 25 | 3 |
No. 2 Bountiful experienced little resistance in day one of the 5A state tournament as it went 6-0. The RedHawks dominated its quarterfinal against No. 10 Springville 25-14, 25-19 and 25-16. “We're finding our flow and doing good things,” said Bountiful head coach Sarah Chism. “Everybody's doing their part. We got a lot of guys playing roles and doing things for the team. Our serving and passing game has been really strong. We've been in system a lot, so that's helped the hitters be comfortable and be open and available.” Connor Burleson led the Bountiful offense with 11 kills and three aces. Aidan Sanford supported with 10 kills while Matt Pulsipher tallied five kills. Bountiful made it to last years’ 5A championship game which it lost 3-0 to Maple Mountain. The RedHawks want to avenge last years’ loss but it knows to do so one game at a time. “We do have motivation from feeling the pain of last year,” Chism said. “We've been chasing that all season and using that as a fire in our practices. But we're strictly focused on the semifinal match at 11:45. So whatever's after that, we'll handle after that.”
