Dock Wins Dallastown Tournament

It’s been a long time since Dock boys won a varsity volleyball tournament. This time it was not a walk in the park. But a character of hard work and determination is getting ahold of these boys. In several pool play matches we found ourselves down and stuck in rotations only to have a huge play give us the rebound to capture the momentum. Dock ended pool play with an 8-0 set record and a first place in our pool. After watching the first round and enjoying our buy, Dock entered playoffs with a renewed desire to play to our best. The first challenge was Palmyra. Dock took an early lead and continued to play with that lead to a 25-16 win and a ticket to the finals. We watched Haverford loss to Calico, noticing that Calico was on a role. We opened our finals with our best net play of the season. Big blocks, big kills, and winning jousts; it was awesome. Set one score was 25-21. But the fun was just beginning. Calico took the early lead in set two but Dock was not done yet. We made a run to tie the score at 23 and the next serveral plays were simply a joy to volleyball fans. The kills, the blocks, the serves; just great volleyball. Dock ended up getting the win on a service ace with the final score 31-29.

Well done - so rewarding to see our work as a team turn into this win.

in the final two sets of the playoff championship, dock had 31 kills, 4 aces, 6 blocks, and 14 digs

Tournament totals: 134 kills, 22 aces, 97 digs, 16 blocks,
