The Northern Marianas Volleyball Association and school team coaches have organized a boys volleyball All Star game for tomorrow, 10am, at the Agape Gymnasium.
NMIVA board member Shawn Davis said in an email that the chosen players from each high school varsity team of the PSS Boys High School Volleyball 2022-2023 season will showcase their skills in a 3-out-of-5 set match.
The following players below from each school will represent two All-Star teams in their game tomorrow.
Omari Joab, Will Sosa, Daniel Nam, and Kyle Kramer from Saipan International School; Jin Tao, Franz Abadilla, Vince Guilas, and Jiahao Chen from Saipan Southern High School; Bill Li, Caleb Cui, David Zhao, Allen Luo, and Hudson Tan from Agape Christian School; Sui Yi, Kyle Moon, Jasper Hall, Jiahao Yang, and Akira Ota from Grace Christian Academy; Earle “Gabby” San Nicolas, Brandon Lee, and Minsoo Kwon from Mount Carmel School; Jerome Marzon, Dylan Mister, Mokyang Kim, John Justo, and Lowell Lumauag from Marianas High School, the 2022-2023 boys high school volleyball champions; Anthony Kubo and Patricio Blas from Kagman High School; and Landen Atalig, Brylle Reyel, and Rainier Ruiz from Dr. Rita H. Inos High School.
Davis said of the chosen players, “These student athletes are full of talent, sportsmanship, and make an impact as leaders to their peers.”
“As we support these students in their demonstration of athleticism we would like to thank Marianas High School and Agape Christian School for working with us in providing an avenue to train. We would also like to acknowledge the coaches, referees and technical officials who have given their time to support the implementation of the All-Star program.”
The purpose of the program is to highlight the skills that exist on each team beyond the first and second place teams at the end of the season. The selected players have trained with a cast of coaches for a period of six training sessions totaling 14 hours.
According to Davis, “each team’s coach was asked in the first week of May to submit their Top 4 setters and liberos, to be entered onto a ballot. This ballot was sent out to all the coaches to vote for the Top 4 setters and liberos.”
