This week Steve had his team pumped up and ready to for a game against the Cranberry's. The fun started at the Sponsor Bar, Lompoc before hand and the competition grew as the game went on. It was a fun game that Steve lead his team to put up a great fight. All night Steve worked hard, diving to keep the play alive. He made some great plays and made sure the gym was having a great time. Good work both on and off the court Steve!

This week's Friendly House POTW goes to veteran USL player, Collier Ellis. You'll see Collier play on various VB teams throughout the league - indoor, sand, grass - doesn't matter, this guy loves the game. His efforts in the semifinal game vs. Balls N' Dolls was key to The Cranberries advancing to the championship finals. Collier kept numerous volleys alive with some fantastic plays, especially at mid-court, where he was a masterful setter and provided many great assists. He was particularly effective at net in the championship match vs. OTAK ATTACK as he led his squad to a great comeback in Game 2, pushing to a 2-point 26-24 loss. While The Cranberries came up short to place second in the championship, Collier was a standout throughout the evening through both matches and against different opponents. This versatile and dedicated volleyballer gets our respect and admiration for his love of the game!
