Late Fall Midcore Volleyball in Fremont Mondays

Watch out, Late Fall Midcore Volleyballers in Fremont! If you don't come to play Asher Chiu will eat you alive. No, really, I actually think he might eat you. Asher is an animal on the court. He is precise and hard working, but that is just the start of what makes Asher and the Cowen Park Pythons a threat. Asher is also incredibly enthusiastic. Think Kevin Garnett, but one-third his size, and just as intense. All that energy and ferocity packed in to Asher's slightly (read "much") smaller frame makes his intensity that much more powerful. Next week, if you hear something similar to The Hulk, I bet you'll see Asher, aiding the Pythons to another victory. Congrats, Asher! You're this week's Player of the Week!

Bing Bang Zip comes ready to play every week. Especially Rani Williams. She is dedicated. Rani arrives early with a smile on her face and it never goes away. She plays hard and makes it look easy. Rani is a vocal leader on Bing Bang Zip as well as a leader by example. Always in position, supporting her teammates, and serving up a storm, Rani has team spirit like no other. This also makes Rani an example of Underdog excellence. Playing hard, cheering loud, and having fun! Congrats, Rani! You are our Player of the Week!

Matt stepped up big tonight as his team only put out 4 players. Matt had some great defense tonight, covering ground as if the Morning Missiles didn't even lose a beat from being down 2 players. From baseline to baseline, Matt showed speed, quickness and pure determination to track down the ball like a defender from the Seahawk secondary. There is high praise for the rest of the Missiles who played tonight as well because they played like a cohesive unit who all flew around the court like... well like Missiles. Congrats Matt, you did amazing tonight!

Each week Candice Hillman of Poop Sandwich shows up and plays her heart out. She gets Player of the Week this week for many reasons. Yes, her team won the championship and she played a huge role in that. And, yes, her teammates voted her Player of the Game in the semis for dropping mad bombs. But I also am voting Candice Player of the Week because, to me, she is player of the season. Every Monday Candice is there for her team with a smile on her face. Even in the first couple weeks when Candice did not seem to have the confidence in herself, she still stayed positive, encouraged her teammates, and smiled. Candice quickly became one of our favorite players to watch because of her dedication, hard work, and improvement on the court. Call her what you want, MVP, Most Improved, or Bad Ass. We are calling Candice Player of the Week!
