North Sanpete Hawks (17-13) | 14 | 11 | 25 | 22 | 1 |
vs Morgan Trojans (19-12) | 25 | 25 | 21 | 25 | 3 |
If No. 2 Morgan has proved anything through the first three years of sanctioned boys’ volleyball, it’s that the Trojans will always be a contender at the state tournament. This year is no different. Morgan took care of business with a 3-1 win over North Sanpete in the semifinals for a chance at a second consecutive 3A state title. “It's harder than people think it is,” Morgan coach Kyle Komenda said. “Just because to stay motivated, to make sure we're locked in and doing the things we need to do and attention to detail, it's not easy.” Throughout day one, Trojans’ middle David Thomsen was dominant on the net defensively. He had 10 blocks in the quarterfinals with Logan, and eight in the semis. Outside hitter Kevin Wangsgard was also one of the premiere players on day one. Wangsgard had 16 kills against Logan and 24 against North Sanpete. Morgan will face No. 1 Ogden in Saturday’s championship games. The Trojans and Tigers split the season series. “We're feeling really good,” Komenda said. “Last time we played we won. We thought we figured some things out, but they're tough. I think we identified them early on that they're going to be the most difficult team to play.”
