Well San Diego was a bust for us. First time in awhile that we didn't make the semi's of a tourney. Ended up in 5th place.
We drove down Friday morning for our 2:30 match vs. Casey Patterson and Ty Loomis. This is a very good up and coming team in my opinion. Good jumps serves, good block/defense and both of them have great ball control. We won the match 17 and 15 but it was a hard fought match on both sides of the net.
On Saturday we played Hans and Anthony and won in two games 18 and 16. Another team similar to Ty and Casey. They have great offensive capabilities combined with great ball control. They are a very tough serving team too. Saturday night we played the late game vs. Sean Scott and John Hyden. We started slow and lost the 1st game. We won the second game but then I was terrible in the third and we got smoked. Sean sided out really well mixing up shots, hits, and offspeed stuff.
Sunday morning we played Jake and Rosy. They won the first game and we won the second in traditional fashion. In the third we were looking great up 9-5 but let it slip away after I had a good point opportunity to go 10-5. Lost 15-12 to take a 5th.

With the FIVB finish...the SD finish, and you guys falling into the losers bracket more often...Do you think the competition is getting better or that you and Phil are just tired and not as focused as last year?
I am thinking your suffering from the same thing that most Heismann trophy winners go through; to much Gold Medal banquet tour. LOL!
Hey Todd,
First the banquet tour comment was from me. Just forgot to sign it.
You are so right about Hans and Anthony. Two top tens (5th, 9th) in their fist two tournaments. I love supporting this team.

Hey Todd,
To compete in FIVBs and AVPs is most def challenging. And to excel as you did in 2007 & 08 was incredible. Best to both you and Phil the rest of this season as you juggle both tours.
