A Soggy Mess of Sand

The weather decided it wasn't going to cooperate this week in the forecast. However, the skies seemed to have different plans, as the clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time for volleyball games this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday saw teams competing on a wet, sandy court, bringing back memories of the summer for many students. It also proved that the Cash Money Defending Champion Millionaires cannot be beat, regardless of conditions. Several other teams have been surprising in their victories this week. Only one other team remains unbeaten, Practice Safe Sets, but they do have a draw on their record with the Jackhammers. The season concludes next week, with hopefully better weather as Fall makes it's entrance on Tuesday. Forfeited games will also make an attempt at being made up on Wednesday, September 23 in order to give all the teams a chance to make the eight team tournament. Tournament teams will announced on Thursday if all games are in by that point. However if inclement weather pushes games back, the tournament seeds will be announced on Friday afternoon. Remember, this is a single elimination tournament. So go big, or go home!

Week Two of Sand Volleyball

Sand volleyball is heading into week two of competition. So far, the Ca$h Money Defending Champion Millionaire$ are proving they are the team to beat again this year. However, the Spiking Samurais are the new team on the block with tons of energy and a great attitude. This week has three nights of play scheduled, and we're hoping that the weather behaves and allows all the games to get in. Come down to Lloyd Beach and cheer on the teams as they vie to get a berth in the tournament in two weeks!
