Carbon volleyball has been making it’s way quietly through this season. Now sitting at 10-0, last night’s contest with the North Summit Braves was a good test for what is to come as they head into region play. The Braves pushed them to four sets, but when it was over the Dinos came away with the 3-1 win.

With just one region match under their belts, a 3-1 victory over Grand County, seven of the final 10 games on the schedule consist of conference competition.

North Summit is a 2A team from Coalville, but don’t let the classification fool you, they proved a tough opponent for the Dinos.

Getting to work, Carbon would come out and win the hard fought first set, 25-19. North Summit came back in the second to take a tight 25-23 victory. The final two sets were extremely close with Carbon coming out on top 25-21 and 25-22.

Carbon once again received great individual effort toward the team cause from Madi Orth, who turned in a 19 digs and 14 kills performance. Lyndee Mower added 18 digs and 11 kills and Janzie Jensen added 18 digs, 10 kills and 5 blocks.

The team has been compiling some pretty big number with several players in the top 10 in the state regardless of classification. Mower shows up on two different lists, No. 2 in digs with 223 and No. 8 in aces with 31. Madi Orth shows up on two lists as well No. 8 with 147 kills and No. 9 with 43 blocks. Blocks must be one of the Dinos favorite things with a total of three on the list, Jensen is at the No. 2 spot with 69 and Syndey Orth is No. 3 with 68.

The Dinos will be on the road Friday, looking to move to 11-1, as they face the Canyon View Falcons in Cedar City.

On Saturday morning the Utah High School Activities Association will release the initial RPI rankings. These rankings will be updated throughout the remainder of the season and will be used to determine seeding in the State Championship.
