The Carbon Dinos traveled to Richfield High School for the second round state tournament matchup with the Wildcats on Saturday afternoon.
In the first quarter, both teams got off to a slow start. Evan Lancaster had some shining moments with a nice coast to coast basket after a steal and a shot from beyond the arc for the Dinos. The score would be 9-5 in favor of the Wildcats after one.
Carter Warburton found Logan Bennett on a nice inbound play for two points as they trailed Richfield by six with four minutes left in the half. After a low-scoring half by both sides, the score would end up at 19-14.
After the break, Kahner Raby had a strong post move, getting the and-one opportunity over two defenders and completing the three-point play. After another two down low for Raby, Warburton hit a post fake to reverse fade away jumper for two. As the shot clock dwindled, Zeke Willson made a beautiful swish from the three-point line.
Unfortunately, the year will come to an end for the hard-working, injury ridden Dino squad. The score was just too far out of reach as Carbon would fall to Richfield, 65-44. The Dinos end the season with an overall record of 8-15, including a 4-10 mark in region play.
