Carbon Boy’s volleyball is making its way through its inaugural season and has yet to capture that first win. Over the weekend they traveled to the Thunder Jamboree and played six matches in two days, and were unable to come away with a win.

This is the first year that boy’s volleyball has been a sanctioned sport by the Utah High School Activities Association, but that doesn’t mean that there have not been schools out there that haven’t been playing on club teams and travel teams.

In the opening match, they would face the Salem Hills Skyhawks, a team from 5A with a 5-3 overall record.

The first set was the best one for the Dinos as they earned 16 points, but the Skyhawks came away with the 25-16 win. The next two sets were all Salem Hills 25-10, and 25-12.

Evan Lancaster collected three kills, Zeke Wilson added a pair of service aces, and Lancaster and Alexis Bueno each had three assists.

Up next was Ogden, a team that the Dinos had faced already once in the season. The Tigers took the straight-set win over the Dinos, 3-0, (25-11, 25-8, 25-14).

Jack Hedin collected three kills in the loss, Colby Haycock had a pair of service aces, and Lancaster and Hector Villalba each had five digs.

In their first match on Saturday the Dinos faced Cedar Valley, from Eagle Moutain. The Aviators handed the Dinos another loss 2-0, (25-11, 25-12)

Hedin was credited with a pair of kills in the contest, Eric Holt and Carter Warburton each collected three digs in the contest.

Carbon would fall in their next match with Herriman 25-6 and 25-10. Moving on the the match with North Sanpete.

In the North Sanpete meeting, the Dinos would come up with  their their biggest offensive output, but still fell in thir opening match 25-20, thay came back out and fought their way through the second set taking a 25-18 loss in that.

Charles Tima and Kyler Orth both collected three kills in the match while Lancaster, Tima and Haycock each had a service ace. Orth had three blocks while Warburtion had eight digs in the contest.

In the final match they would face Ogden again, and would come up short in the first set 25-11, but put up a bigger fight in the second falling 25-20.
