Endless Summer

First Place

Winter Co-ed Volleyball at Seattle Central Thursdays

Endless Summer played amazing all season long going undefeated. When you watch Endless Summer play, you can clearly see why they are so dominant. It all starts with defense. Endless Summer moves around the court cohesively, covering one another, closing all the gaps. They just seemed quicker than everyone else and the team's athleticism was off the charts.

Making easy work in the first two rounds of playoffs, Endless Summer was matched against a high powered "Bad News Bears" team. The first set went back and forth as each team tried to sustain a streak. In the end of the first set, Drew was able to break "Bad News Bears" with a great placement spike pushing Endless Summer to a 25-20 victory. The second set was even more scrappy.

All game Cristina was on the move, covering sideline to sideline to defend the attacking "Bad News Bears." Cristina saved multiple points to keep the game close early. Sarah also did everything she could by passing beautifully and making sets that were easy to convert for Drew and Kris. As the points were still being handed back and forth, someone had to make a game changing play. That's where Stewart stepped up big time as he started swinging at everything in the air. Stewart's misdirection was key as he fooled "Bad News Bears" many times. The defense then stepped up as Kris and Drew created a huge wall at the net, contesting everything that came near. Leah covered any hole that opened from the wall and did it without fail. Endless Summer squeaked by 25-23 winning the Championship.

Endless Summer is a team filled with athletic freaks and could create their very own Underdog dynasty. There are no flaws in this team and will prove it in the upcoming seasons as they show the ceiling is endless as well.
