Last Tuesday, December 11, 2012 the volleyball fight between Dentistry and SAM happened. Fans and players are anxiously awaiting the start of the game. The players are jumping and fidgeting around on the court waiting for the referee to blow her whistle to issue the start of the game. Players of Dentistry are Hipolito, Vargas, Brucal, Mohares, Asana, Amar, Nehzar, Laurenaria, Simsuangco, Hamed, and Mirador. For the SAM, players are Castillo, Tolentino, Picones, Alcantara, Tangliben, Binag, Tung, Reyes, Dalida, Que, Cadauan, and Guevarra.
The whistle blows and the visiting team serves the ball while fans in the stands are clapping and stomping on the bleachers trying to distract him. The serve is good and Dentistry returns a pass, set, kill and the crowd goes wild. That was just the beginning to a fun filled game. The 1st set Goes to the Dentistry with the score 25 – 20. On the second set, the SAM won with the score 25-27. But the Dentistry won’t let it lose, they win the 3rd set with the score 25- 27.
During the time-outs the crowd was clapping loudly and some of the college students were cheering taunting cheers at the opposing team. It was a Best of sets game. On the 4th set SAM win again with the score 23-25. The 5th set, the tie breaking, Dentistry win it, with 15 -11 score. The crowd was so happy, and cheering for the winning team. The joy in the face of the winning players is unexplainable. Their sweat and efforts brought them the triumph.
Volleyball is truly one of the great All – American sports. It has grown and developed a lot since it was first made up and changes are still being made. It is played by different nationalities nowadays. Volleyball has not hit such a great national level as it has in other countries and is not a sports gold mine like the NBA or NFL but maybe, hopefully one day it will be just as or more popular. From 1895 to now from Mintonette to the Olympics, volleyball has improved and has been almost perfected.
