Volleyball Week 3 (8) Team Keith Stone vs (9)The Clams

This should be a very competitive game with both teams seeding being close. TKS has a nice warm up and stretch while The Clams arrive just moments before game time. TKS starts with the ball for the first set, but Sean Kelly of TKS cannot seem to get the ball over the net. Both teams also struggle to get going at first and the Clams get an early lead but that ends when Sean Kelly with a monstrous spike is able to get his team on the board. The first game is a back and forth game. TKS has several players who are very athletic and have great blocked shots and spikes. Matthew Duty of the Clams is able to keep his team in reaching distance with his nice blocked shots on several occasions. Ann Shomberg of TKS has excellent serving ability with her nice form. In the first game I believe Sean Kelly had about 4-5 spikes and Matthew Duty had about 5-6 blocked shots. However, that just was not enough to prevent TKS from pulling away and winning the first set 25-21.

The Clams start with the ball during the second set. Both teams still have trouble serving and getting the ball over the net. After a few minutes both teams start playing better and start having several good rallies. The score for the most part goes back and forth with TKS leading the way but The Clams are staying within a point or two until TKS scores six consecutive points with the help of Patrick Moxley, David Miller and Sean Kelly dishing up some spikes to keep the Clams from getting an advantage. Then I think TKS was getting a little excited and served a shot out of bounds, and then The Clams are able to get within two points of TKS, 16-14. TKS still had momentum, stretching their lead to 19-15. That’s when TKS just starts to pull away and it’s too much for The Clams to handle with Sean Kelly of TKS serving the winning point with an ace.

According to one of the players on TKS, “We put together a solid effort to get the job done, we felt pretty confident even though the game was close and I have faith in my team especially Sean Kelly. Yeah I thought it was going to be a close game because of how we both were seeded close together. We play the number 1 seed and we are pretty confident we’re going to win, because we are just awesome.”
