Carbon High Dominates Own Carbon
Duels
by Melanie Steele
Carbon wrestlers defended their home turf last weekend,
winning five out of six team matches to take first place
in the annual Carbon Duels.
The Dinos opened the tournament with a 69-12 victory
over Woods Cross.
However, in the second matchup against Union, Carbon's
lower weight wins were unable to offset losses by an
inexperienced upper-weight.
Union scratched out a 40-39 win.
Carbon finished Friday night with a 45-30 win over a
tough North Sanpete squad.
On Saturday, Carbon cruised to the title of tournament
champion with three wins over area schools. The Dinos
defeated Monticello, who had thrashed Union by a 22
point spread, as well as Emery (66-12) and Duchesne
(59-18).
Varsity wrestlers Courtney Ivory, Trent Greenhalgh, Zack
Burdick, Dustin Howa, Brett Riche and Dallen McFarlane
all had first place finishes for the Dinos.
Jesse Blain finished second, Tim Lasslo and Josh Dunn
came in third and Nick Nielson, Taylor Dastrup and Nick
Deeter placed fourth.
Carbon's Trent Greenhalgh was named as one of the two
tournament Most Valuable Players, along with
Monticello's Tyrel Snyer.
Carbon will have a chance to even the score with Union
this week. The Dinos will host a match against the
Cougars on Dec. 11.
The varsity match is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
