The Dinos kicked off the two day event by competing against the Logan Grizzlies.. Carbon came out strong playing well on both ends of the court however, it was their defensive effort which received acclaim from Dino coach Bruce Bean. The Dinos managed to hold the Grizzlies to only five points in the second quarter and only nine points in the fourth. The victory came quite easily for the Dinos who captured the 0 first round win. In the match up with Logan, Morgan Warburton lead the team in scoring with 21 poinLs.Shewas followed by Chelsey Warburton who posted 20 points against the Grizzlies. Brittany Pollaslm had a successful game as she scored 12 points while pulling down several big rebounds for the Dino squad. After being ranked first in the n, 3A standings prior to the the Dinos found themselves falling in the rankings after losing to Ogden before the Thanksgiving break. At the beginning of the tournament, the Snow Canyon Warriors had found their way to the top spot in the standings. In the final game of the Bear River Classic, the Dinos stepped up to prove that they deserve to be named as the top team in the division once again. The match up between the two talented teams proved to be a showdown of great proportions. By the end of the fiyst quarter of play, the Wirriors found themselves ahead of the Dinos, 13-- 6. Not a very large nor comfortable 71-4- lead for the Warriors. In fact, the Dinos matched the team point for point in the second quarter as both teams posted 10 points a piece.

Chelsey Warburton lead the Carbon team in scoring with 16 points as Morgan Warburton followed with 11 points. Just like in most of the games prior to the Snow Canyon matchup, the Dinos stepped up and played strong as a team. Each athlete who entered the game added their own strength and talent which eventually lead to the big win for the Dinos. With the regular season creeping up on the Dinos, the team continues to make adjustments to become the best team in the league. According to coach Bean, the team is strong but improvements must be made to their ball handling skills. We need to dean things up a little bit before region competition begins. We need to play better and smarter offense, but I think well be ready for the season when it rolls around, commented Bean. Although the Dinos do not hold standings dose to their heart, the team does understand how it feels to be one of the best teams in the state. With this title comes the challenge of living up to the name. After all, every team that the Dinos compete against will enter the match up with the strong desire to bring down the powerful Carbon team. This may be a desire for many of the 3A teams, but it is a difficult task which few teams may be able to accomplish this year. Loga Carbon Logan 19 14 20 5 12 12 17-- 71 0 pre-seaso- C.
