Class 6A's top-ranked Skyridge Falcons (16-0) managed to stave off an upset attempt by the American Fork Cavemen (8-8), prevailing in straight sets, 25-23, 25-14 and 25-21. "We struggled passing tonight because American Fork served us tough. We may have won 3-0 but it wasn't easy. American Fork is a scrappy team and played with lots of energy," said Skyridge coach Silver Fonua. Skyridge opposite hitter Cala Cooper led the charge with seven kills and four blocks, while teammate Taylah Kaufusi contributed six kills, two blocks and two aces. Middle blocker Bella Freeman also made her presence felt with five kills and two blocks as Skyridge improve to 3-0 in Region 3 play, with American Fork falling to 0-3 in region. "We are a big and physical team. We use that to our advantage. We established our block at the net tonight and it helped slow down AF's hitters," added Fonua. "I was happy with how our setters distributed the ball between all our hitters. Offensively, we don't have to rely on just one or two hitters. We have a four players that are capable of taking over a match but tonight the points earned were spread out."
