Fall Midcore Co-ed Indoor Volleyball at Harriet Tubman Thursday

Chris Creasing started the Thursday night Harriet Tubman volleyball league off with a huge BAMMM! That was the sound of the ball hitting the floor in a relentless display of sheer force whenever Chris leapt high into the air for one of his numerous kills. He put on a clinic with some crazy good blocks and attacks at the net. Of particular note was Chris's performance in the first set scoring 7 consecutive service points which helped the Cougs surge ahead to win the match. Way to go Chris - your outstanding performance has earned you Player of the Week - congrats!

To quote Robert Moreno upon receiving this week's Tubman Thursday Night Volleyball POTW, "Say I'm handsome and humble". Okayyyyy.... But now on to the real reason we're honoring Robert - his unbelievable performance last night leading Indy Team #55 Big Pink to a resounding sweep of the match. Robert is one of the most consistent spikers in the Thursday night league and his ability to leap up for the ace is uncanny. His fantastic energy, especially during a long and exciting volley in the second set of the match with Sets on the Beach, makes Robert the ultimate teammate. He motivates Big Pink not only by being "handsome and humble", but powers through with some impossible digs - how does he do it??? By being Robert Moreno of course. Keep the consistency and great play coming, Robert - congrats!

Player of the week was defined this week by hard work and enthusiasim. Linda O from Sets on the Beach came ready to win this week. In their double header week, Sets on the Beach had two tough games. Linda helped her team get a game with on the Homeless Cougars and a Match win on Just the Tip. Her "chest of steel" kept her strong and she passed from hard hits that came to the back row all night all. Linda never gave up and encouraged her team to keep up the good work. Alll of the Sets on the Beach players took a big part in their games tonight. Great work Linda and all of SOTB!!

"Service with a Smile" aptly describes this Thursday's POTW - Hayden Todd of Indy Team #55, otherwise known as Big Pink. Hayden keeps her squad ready for the assist, block and "balls up" with her coaching throughout every set and match. Her enthusiasm is contagious and the consistency of her incredibly accurate serving style makes her shine. In the second set of the semi-final match with Just the Tip, Big Pink was behind and looked like they might lose. A perfect opportunity for Hayden to spark Big Pink with her steady service and always-present encouragement to help the team surge ahead for the win and match and a spot in next week's finals against Homeless Cougars. Here's to a great season Big Pink and Hayden Todd!
