Carbon boys basketball found themselves on the road on Monday night to take on the defending 3A state champion Juab Wasps in Nephi. In a highly compettitive match-up that would go in to overtime the Dinos fell behind and were forced to foul and send Juab to the line where the Wasps made their free throws taking the 68-60 win.

The fourth quarter and overtime period were all about Juab though , as the Wasps outscored Carbon 25-16 in the final eight minutes to tie the game at 56. In the overtime Juab found a way to put up 12 points on the board, mostly from the line as Carbon was forced to foul to try to get the ball back.
