With that in mind, the Golden Eagles had all the confidence in the world as they defeated Bountiful in the 5A championship, although it took four sets on Saturday. Maple Mountain started Saturday’s match as confident as ever, immediately racking up a lead with strong serving, including four aces from Adi Gammell. Bountiful struggled with its serve receive while Maple Mountain had strong passes and kills, which resulted in a 25-14 set one win for the Golden Eagles.
Mountain Ridge has some great athletes and unless you can get two blocks up against them and diggers in the right place, they will score with ease. All in all it was a good match for us to learn how to change strategy quickly. In a Region 3 showdown between fierce rivals, the Pleasant Grove Vikings (11-3) emerged victorious over the Lone Peak Knights (6-1) in a four-game battle, 27-29, 25-18, 25-18 and 25-21.
