Team America: Week 6 Report

Team America plays in the upper intermediate indoor volleyball league for the Chicago Sports and Social Club every Tuesday night.

Another week and another character building experience. On the bright side, at least Jim and Ali didn't fight on court...they left that to the other couple. Thankfully all was patched up prior to the end of the night.

Now, even though we lost the match three games to none there were highlights. So allow me to break these down by player:

Jim - I'm just going to call you wall crawler from now on. Back to back scrambling plays on the wall, one where you pulled a Jackie Chan and jumped off it? Love it.

Ali - Holy crap, have your floor burns healed yet? Thank God you threw your self all over the place to pick up digs, because I know I wasn't going to get to them.

Stroh - Where the hell did that hitting display come from? And a good back row set to the strong side hitter?

Steve - Ok, so I know you're disappointed you didn't convert more of the sets that came your way, but you did put some impressive ones down.

Sarah, Kristen, and me - Good job setting guys. The decisions to put the ball over on two instead of the set were almost all good ones. You also did a good job adjusting to the guy in the grey shirt dinking balls over on two.

Matt and Gail - Where the hell are you?

That being said, we have a bye week this week and we're back in action for the last week of the regular season next Tuesday. Our opponents, Hank Scorpio, sit at 8-10 one spot directly in front of us. The bad thing is, even by taking all three games we can't move up in the rankings. The good thing is, even if we lose all three games we probably won't move down in the rankings because Set Shorty is more than likely to lose their set as well.
