The Carbon boys’ volleyball team was on the road all last week, so they finally got to play in front of the home crowd when they faced the Juan Diego Soaring Eagle on Tuesday. Juan Diego took the first two sets, but Carbon turned it on, taking the final three sets to win 3-2.

Carbon’s last home game was on March 11, when they faced the North Sanpete Hawks in a 3-1 loss. Since then, they traveled to a tournament at American Heritage and then a match at Providence Hall last week.

The Soaring Eagle won 25-20 and 25-21 in the first two sets, and probably thought their road was pretty straightforward, but then the Dinos came alive.

In the third set, Carbon found its next level, and the Dinos rallied, holding the Soaring Eagle to 15 points, to take a 25-15 win. Moving into the fourth, it was all about the Dinos again, taking a 25-19 win to tie up the match at two sets each. In the fifth and final set, Juan Diego knew what they had to do, but Carbon did as well, holding them off and claiming the 18-16 set win to earn the 3-2 match victory.

Connor Gleave had a day for Carbon with 15 digs, 11 assists, six blocks, and one service ace. Kyler Orth earned 12 kills, for blocks and three aces, and Charles Tima had 15 digs, 12 kills, and two aces.

The Dinos return to the road on Thursday to take on the Juab Wasps.
