Volleyball Fraternity league FIJI A1 Vs. ATO A

Before the game both teams talk strategy about who will be playing which position. ATO starts with the serve of set one. Fiji looks to have the height advantage with one person named Zachary Fenster  probably 6’8”, but ATO takes an early lead 3-0 right before Zachary has a monstrous spike and gets his team on the board (and he also had many more of those throughout the first game). Fiji looks to be pulling away but ATO is catching some lucky breaks. Jimmy Lam of Fiji also is a threat to be reckoned with. He is about 5’8” but he has tremendous jumping ability and spikes the ball with a lot of force. Both team have several good rallies throughout the first game. Both teams have athletic players so it will be very competitive. However, both teams have no subs so they might get tired. As long as Zachary stays close to the net ATO will have trouble scoring. The game goes back and forth until Fiji gets on a roll and wins it 25-17.

            Before the start of the second game, both teams discuss strategy. Fiji starts with the ball for game two. This time Fiji gets out to a 3-0 lead then Ryan Shapiro of ATO is able to get his team on the board. Both teams looks to be having a good time on the court with great sportsmanship. ATO is able to get several good spikes this game and are able to hit the ball past Zachary. At one point the score was 12-8 and looked like Fiji was going to be pulling away but ATO had other ideas by putting up a fight trying to get the game close. ATO needed to try a bit harder because Jimmy’s hard-hitting power and jumping ability is too much for ATO to handle and Fiji is able to win the second set as well.

 Looks like Fiji was able to win with the height advantage. According to Fenster of Fiji it was a much needed win, and having the height advantage defiantly played a part in the win. According to ATO they said “It was a competitive game but we didn’t play well enough to win but it was definitely a fun game. We had some trouble because we are all short and well they had one taller player so that was hard to play against.”
