Spring Midcore Volleyball at St Charles Tuesdays

You know it's gonna be a fun game when Shane Phelps arrives at St. Charles on Tuesday nights. Shane is "All About" energy and his team catches that bug week in and week out. He strong arms his way on the front row with some great swings and always at the ready to block anything in his way. Facing off vs. Sara and the Rural Jurors, Shane and the Aces battled mightily in the first game to a 5-point loss which was a great one full of outstanding saves and service delivered by Shane. The Aces took a rest in the second and lost by more than they wanted, but rallied in the third set to close by a close 3. Shane paved the way for competition continuing his save efforts and grabbing needed points in serious volleys. Shane was the ACE in Tuesday's matchup and we salute him with POTW!

Sara and her Rural Jurors were in the championship game vs. perennial favorites Shaggin Balls on Tuesday night at St. Charles in the Midcore finals. Sara's team features the swinging slugger, Dustin Harmon, who took charge in the match and powered return after return in a relentless attack from the front and mid rows. Wherever there was a need, Dustin sprung into action waving his arm and pounding the ball over the net. His service was cruel too, with slamming offense delivering a blow to the defense who many times couldn't keep up with the pounding. Despite Dustin's crushing blows, it wasn't enough for the Jurors to overcome Shaggin' Balls's historical run at undefeatedness and the #2 seed came up short in the finals by a 2-0 match.
