The Net Prophets

First Place

Spring Co-ed Volleyball at Seattle Central Tuesdays

As the #1 and #2 ranked teams after the regular season, it wasn’t too surprising that Net Prophets and Bumpin’ Uglies were facing off for the championship match. After a warm up filled with impressive swings the teams geared up for game number one. Awesome kills continued into the games, but were now matched with equally impressive blocks, and digs. Both teams were scrappy in their defense and quick with a block, leaving unforced errors and well placed tips to be the most decisive points on both sides of the net. Net Prophets took round one with a score of 25-18.
The battle continued in game two with even more kills and thrills. Sam from Bumpin’ Uglies and Mike from Net Prophets were two of the hardest hitters around. They picked their target, aimed and swung away. A fun fact I learned later was that Mike loves to narrate his own kills, Batman comic style; KaPow! Joe (NP) was a silent killer with a number of well-placed chip shots and deep corner pushes. The final shout out goes out to Jessica, Bumpin’ Uglies’ setter. She played a 5:1 and ran the show with her hustle and assists. After another great round of rallies the second game went to Bumpin’ Uglies.
No surprise here that game three was filled with the same intensity and skill as the previous two games. There was certainly a little more eagerness in every ones playing as now there was a race to beat the clock as well. The two determined teams were cheering louder than ever to keep the energy and hustle alive. When the final buzzer sounded the score was 22-19, and it was the Net Prophets who took home the Champs t-shirts.
