It’s hard to believe, but, today is the 6th and final day of competition. This morning, we started off with the 14’s, and 15’s playing in 3 team pools with the winner of each pool competing for their divisional finals match. All of our teams played very well with the majority splitting their matches (1-1) to complete in their last day of the Volleyball Festival. The 14-1’s and 15-1’s each won 2 close matches in pool play to move on to their divisional finals.
The 14-1’s were evenly matched verses Hawaii’s Magic team as they were an excellent passing and digging team. This match went to 3 games with our 14’s winning the Contest Division (Bronze Finalists) in a nail biter of 15-13 in the tie-breaking set. They end Festival finishing 45th overall moving up from their initial seed of 56th.
The 15-1’s finished off Dinamo Elite earlier in the day taking only 2 sets to win the Confidence Division and finishing 75th overall in the 15’s division. They were the 69th seed entering Festival.
The 16-2’s had an up and down week and experienced a couple of tournament ending knee and ankle injuries. In divisional pool play they won easily in their first match to Extreme Block Party, however, found themselves in a very close match up vs. Point West Mizuno in a 3 set victory to make their championship final in the Comet Division (25-22, 23-25, 15-12). Their divisional final was not any easier vs. Central Coast. After splitting the first 2 sets (24-14, 23-25) and losing another player to an ankle injury, the team rallied back with solid passing and excellent serving to win a thrilling 3rd set, 15-10 and maintaining their starting seed of 99th overall.
Here is a recap of our teams:
