Corner Canyon Chargers (11-8) | 20 | 17 | 16 | 0 |
vs Lone Peak Knights (23-8) | 25 | 25 | 25 | 3 |
No team played as clean in day one of the 6A state tournaments as No. 2 Lone Peak. It went 6-0 and never allowed more than 20 points in a single set. It punched yet another ticket to the semifinals with a clean 3-0 sweep of Region 3 foe Corner Canyon. “We said, ‘We're not going to take throttle off,’” said Lone Peak coach Cecil Reed. “It really was about just keeping the throttle down the whole time and making sure that we stay with the same intensity the whole time.” The Knights have one of the best attacks in the state, thanks to its double-setter system with Will Dayton and Lucky Jennings. The two Lone Peak setters are complemented by Kilika Tafa, who had 12 kills with a .476 hitting efficiency, and Brady Holt, who had 11 kills while hitting .474. “Lucky and Will, it doesn't really matter who they're next to, they just run the show,” Reed said. “They just really get the ball where it's supposed to be. And our players, Kilika and Brady, seriously, I don't know what to say about those guys.” Its reward for dominating day one is a chance against defending 6A champion Bingham. “This should be the championship game,” said Reed. “They're a fantastic team to go against. Lehi’s got a tough match on their side. So, it's four good teams in the semis, and best man wins.
