Spring Softcore/Midcore Co-ed Indoor Volleyball in SEPDX Thursday

The team of the week for Eastmoreland Courts are the ladies from Back that Pass up.

All night long they were diving and chasing down balls, laying out point after point giving it their all. They flat out were putting on quite a show that made other teams from other courts take notice.

Even though the scores may not reflect it, these ladies made the evening enjoyable and the match close.

Thanks for all your hustle and effort tonight ladies. You earned team of the week!

So this weeks Team of the week for Thursday Night at East Moreland is the scrappy Bumpin Uglies group. The Uglies, led by a duo of former Underdog Football referees, who have come out of retirement to lead this bandit group of hungry volleyball fiends, are riding an undefeated status this late in the season.

This group does an excellent job in controlling the match. Never down for more than a few points, they pride themselves in their communication, crisp passes, and aggressive attacks.

While it was clear that they were the better team this week, the real question is can they go into the playoffs with a clean record? More importantly can they run the gauntlet and win it all with perfection in tact?

With regular season behind us, it's easy to look at results and rankings heading into the playoffs and start the process of overlooking teams.

That may have been the case when the #1 seeded Volley Llamas came into Thursday's match against awkward high fives.

After a grueling back and forth match that went all three sets, awkward stood victorious over the shocked #1 seeded Llamas.

When asked how they turned it on in in time for the playoffs they could be quoted as saying it's now or never. And we want to play next week.

A true team effort full of lots of spikes and big plays, the Awkward crew rolls into week 2 with a bit of a swagger looking for their next opponent to underestimate their skills.
