Carbon Dinos (14-13) | 25 | 25 | 25 | 22 | 15 | 2 |
vs Grantsville Cowboys (9-14) | 22 | 19 | 27 | 25 | 17 | 3 |
The Cowboys pulled off the upset of the 3A state tournament with their five-game defeat of the Region 10 No. 1-ranked Dinos. Grantsville fell behind and dropped the first two games but pulled it together for a strong comeback in the final three. They didn't have an easy time even making it past the third game, and held large leads in Game 5 before Carbon tied things up at 13 and again at 14, even enjoying their own match point at 14-15. But the Cowboys put things back together and finished it off with three straight points and the 17-15 victory to put themselves squarely into the second round of the state tournament with a game against Delta at 3:30 p.m. The Dinos dropped into the one-loss bracket to take on Juan Diego at the same time.
