MHS 1 sweeps pool play
Marianas High School 1 was undefeated in the first round of pool play in the 2018-2019 Public School System Boys High School Volleyball Tournament held last Saturday at the MHS Gymnasium.
The Dolphins opened their campaign in the preliminaries with a 25-15 victory over Kagman High School on the north court. For its second game, MHS 1 still played on the north side of the gym and this time eased past Saipan Southern High School, 25-9. For its last two matches over on the south court, MHS 1 had a family affair, but showed no love lost in downing MHS 2 first, 25-8, and topping MHS 3, 25-14.
Meanwhile, after dropping its opening game, Kagman went on to sweep its final three assignments last weekend. The Ayuyus recovered quickly following a double-digit winning margin over the Manta Rays, 25-15. Then against MHS 2, Kagman labored through a 25-22 victory, while the Ayuyus closed out the night with a 25-18 win over MHS 3.
MHS 3 finished pool play ranked fourth with its 1-3 mark, while MHS 2 was a notch ahead with its 2-2 card, and Saipan Southern was at the cellar after failing to win a single match. MHS 3 recorded a 25-18 victory over the Manta Rays, while MHS 2 also defeated the latter, 25-20, and the former, 25-17.
