No. 3 Mountain Ridge didn’t have many issues in its first day of the state tournament. The Sentinels advanced to the 6A semifinals after two dominant 3-0 wins, including one over No. 11 Riverton in the quarterfinals. “I think they played well,” said Mountain Ridge head coach David Johnston. “They came out, played together, played with energy. They minimized their mistakes. We’re just trying to build for the next couple of matches.” Mountain Ridge won the sets 25-17, 25-13 and 25-19, giving up only a combined 49 points throughout Friday’s game. Outside hitter Clark Fowler had a team-high 10 kills in the quarterfinal. Nesta Vaitai had nine while Curtis Fowler and Brayden Kelleher each had seven. Vaitai also had three aces in the win. Mountain Ridge advances to the 6A semifinal where it will see No. 2 Westlake. “We ran in the same tournament together, so we've seen each other, but we didn't play against each other,” Johnston said. “They’ve got some really good outside hitters and some good players. It'll be a good test for us.”
