Congrats to John Hyden and Jen Boss for becoming the God and Goddess of the Beach. Both played well and were very deserving.
I believe John did not lose a game in route to his second straight crown. He went 7-0 on the weekend. I was in his second pool and he played very well with me. In my first game I played with Nick Lucena against Rosy and John. I played left and just was not consistant enough siding out to give us a chance. We scored some points but then I would inevitably give a couple up to give them the lead back. We lost 21-18 and 21-14. That put me and Nick in a tough spot to even have the chance to get out of pool. In the next game I played with John and we won 18 and 18. I was back on the right side and sided out okay. I also had a bunch of blocks and felt good up there. In the third game I played with Rosy. We started off strong making plays and were up a couple of points. I gave up a couple though and that started us down hill. We ended up losing in overtime as Nick came up big with a couple of aces at the end of the game. In the second we never got it going at all and they sided out really well. I think the score was 21-16.
It was tough to really get the juices flowing for any of the matches. I played as hard as I could but just did not have it this weekend. Fortunately the season is over and I am pretty sure that everyone including me is happy to see it end. It seemed like one of the longest seasons I have ever played. Now for a break!

Enjoy your upcoming winter holidays with your family. alan beverly/birmingham, alabama
Does winter vacation include a trip to Dubai with Sean Scott??? Saw you name on the entry list this weekend and it shocked me. Talk to you soon....
I could not believe it that the Beach Volleyball Team USA , after winning gold across the board. Had to come back home and literately hit the sand spiking.Well now you made it to the end of the season, and a well deserved break.
Also, Happy Birthday to you.
Will catch you on the other side of the season.
happy b-day, todd!!! see you in nyc in feb!
Todd,
First and foremost, Happy Birthday to you! Second, congratulations on the 5 or 6 blocks you got this weekend. Brought you back to the good ol' days when you were playing with Dax, eh? I tried to follow all the matches on avp radio but volleyball is definitely not a radio sport. Still it was better than just looking at the matches in progress on the avp site. Congratulations on an amazing season and enjoy the off season.
