Despite holding a double-digit lead entering the fourth quarter, the Carbon Dinos were unable to hold off a furious Providence Hall fourth quarter rally that resulted in a 54-48 loss Wednesday night in Price.

Trailing 22-19 at the end of the first half, the Dinos outscored the Patriots 21-5 in the third quarter to take a comfortable advantage into the final stanza. The second half turned out to be a tale of two quarters as Providence Hall returned the favor with a 27-8 run to close out the game.

Senior Zeke Wilson led the Dinos with 17 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc. Center Kahner Raby also reached double-figures as he finished with 10 points to go along with seven boards.

Carbon struggled to find consistency from the field as the team shot just 37-percent for the game. Five of the team’s 16 makes came from the three-point line where the team ended 26-percent.

Ryker Butler continued to stuff the stat sheet as he delivered an all-around performance with six points, 11 rebounds and two assists. Sophomore Carter Warburton scored nine points on six attempts and handed out a team-high three assists.

Wednesday’s loss snaps a two-game winning streak for Carbon and drops the team’s overall season record to 3-3. With six games now in the books, the focus will shift to the Region 12 opener Friday against North Sanpete in Mount Pleasant.

Carbon and North Sanpete share multiple common opponents ahead of Friday’s first meeting. Both teams earned wins over Grand, while both also suffered double-digit losses to South Summit.
