The 2021 season came to an end for the Carbon Dinos on Friday night in Roosevelt against the Union Cougars. The Dinos could not stop the offensive out put by the Cougars all evening as Union stepped away from their normal starting quaterback Boone Latham and went with junior Jackson Rasmussen. Back on September 10, the Cougars visited Price taking the 38-6 loss, Friday night Union claimed a 37-0 win, moving on into the next round.

Senior Keaton Rich led the Dinos in a game that seemed like Carbon could never get a handle on. Rich passed for just 52 yards and rushed for 50, leading the Dinos in both categories.  Junior Mason Vasquez added 16 receiving yards for Carbon in the loss.

Defensively the Dinos struggled trying to contain Union throughout the evening. Latham has thrown for over 1500 yards this season and also leads the team with 455 yards rushing but, tonight Rasmussen got the start and Latham lined up at wide receiver.

Rasmussen was 15/24 for 300 yards and two touchdowns. Latham still did his damage, even though he did start as quarterback, to the tune of 132 yards receiving, which led the team. He also rushed for 40 and a touchdown.

Union will go on to face the Grantsville Cowboys next week on the road. On October 7, the teams faced each other in Roosevelt with the Cowboys taking a 39-0 win.

The Dinos end the season with a 2-8 record, 0-5 in Region 12 play and were ranked No.11 in the RPI rankings at the end of the regular season.

They will lose some key players to graduation like Rich, Hayden Tallerico, Davin Moss and Will Carmichael who are just four of over 30 seniors on the team.
