Former champions, Ghasias Brothers, dominated the first three sets in the opening match of the league, but was unable to “juice-out” in the fourth set, allowing for a game extension.
Despite their higher game point than Evenflow, Ghasias Brothers still had to battle it out with the other team at the blue court of MHS Gym.
Evenflow made winning games in overtime their trademark of competition in the previous year, and they tried to duplicate this feat with Ghasias Brothers last Saturday, pushing them to the limit before losing in second and final overtime sets to the Ghasias Brothers.
In Rocball, a team cannot win in quarter/set system in a losing set, regardless of game points.
Freddy Pelisamen of Ghasias Brothers was the games heavy hitter with 4 aces, 4 jams, 4 kees, and 2 goals for 26 points.
Freddy’s 4 “Jams” in one game is a new record.
A jam is when a receiving team player spikes down a served ball at the net. It is one of the most difficult plays to make in Rocball.
