In the second half, Carbon found its way, turning up the defense to hold the Mustangs to just nine points and cutting the lead to five, 45-40. The fourth quarter Carbon gave Mountain Crest all they had, putting up 16, but the Mustangs did just enough to maintain their lead and take the 58-56 win.

On Friday, the Dinos faced the Logan Grizzlies. Carbon used a big third quarter to put them away and take a 63-49 win.

When the second quarter rolled around, the Dinos played the same game they did in the first, keeping their edge and lead, and both teams went into the locker room at halftime with Carbon leading, 35-26.

It was the third quarter when Carbon put the Grizzlies away for good, outscoring Logan 20-5 to take a commanding 55-31 lead into the final eight minutes.  Logan controlled the fourth, but the Dinos had built enough of a lead that they would hold on for the 63-49 win.
