Carbon High School golfers Carson Martines and Brady Gagon have both been selected to the 3A All-State Second Team, it was announced by the Utah Section of the Professional Golfers Association of America this week.

Finishing the Region 14 season unbeaten for the third consecutive season, Martines and Gagon led the Dinos to another division championship. Martines fired a 156, while Gagon delivered a 158 at the 3A State Tournament to help Carbon secure a fifth-place finish overall.

The 3A State Champion Morgan Trojans led the way with four first-team selections, including 3A medalist Nathan Preslar. North Sanpete finished with two, while Emery, San Juan, Judge Memorial and Union ended with one representative.

The All-State nod marks the second consecutive year Martines and Gagon have earned Second Team All-State honors. Last year the two stabilized a third-place Carbon squad overall as the third and fourth golfers on the team.

Nick Olson and Kaden Slavensky both qualified as honorable mentions to round out the individual accolades for the Carbon golf squad. Slavensky shot an outstanding 78 in the first day of the state tournament on his way to a 164. Olson used a 79 and 83 to finish with a 162.

The Utah Section PGA extends the honor of First Team All-State to the top ten golfers in each classification, the next ten are selected to the Second Team, and the next ten after that are selected to Honorable Mention.

The Utah Section of the PGA of America has been actively supporting high school golf for over 25 years. Twenty years ago they developed the Utah High School All-State Golf Program. The All-State Golf selection process is unique among all-state honors programs in that it is all by the numbers. Thirty-five percent of a players best region scores and sixty-five percent of their state championship scores are used to rank each player.

All First Team All-State players will be invited to the All-State Invitational tournament and Banquet at the end of May.
