Awkward High Fives

First Place

Late Fall Co-ed Volleyball at Eastmoreland Courts Thursdays

There's absolutely nothing awkward about domination.

Not when your team has an average jumping vertical of 20 inches across all the players and spike and block their way to a championship. (It might help that Chad skews that number with his 60 inch vertical, but hey who's counting.)

Congratulations goes out to this session's Thursday Night Midcore Champs, the high flying, sonic boom producing Awkward High Fives group.

Last nights championship match started out as one for the ages. A galactic battle of good versus evil, heaven versus hell, The gods ver....ok it was a really good match that ended in a overtime victory for the Nice Piece of Ace squad. Going into games 2 and 3, the AHF group rallied and found their killer instinct and made sure to put these games away once they built up their lead. Dont be fooled by the scores, the back and forth rallies sent the 4 person crowd in the bleachers into a standing ovation after the match. You could hear the folks cheering in the concession area after every hard fought point.

Their game plan was simple...dig the ball, block the tough spikes (they were not always successful) that NPA was sending their way and set the big dogs and let them eat. Oh and eat they did...between the two teams I really felt sorry for the volleyball...we may need to retire that one due to the deformity that comes with being smashed back and forth for over an hour.

Once the dust settled, we had our champs. No strangers to the spotlight or standing at the top of the league, the humble team simply claimed their prizes and check and talked about next session. These types of actions are what leads to dynasty talk!

In the end I would be re-missed if I didn't point out that this sessions champs won it all without two of their key players on the sideline for this match. One who is working on adding another team member to the 2035 roster. The other...well his wife says that some people have higher pain tolerances than others...

Never the less, this sessions Champs peaked at the right time in the tournament and dominated the championship match in games 2 and 3 to bring home the title.

Congratulations to the team and high fives all the way around!
