B-n-S showing stuff in Rocball debut

B-n-S put on a show in their 2005 World Organized Rocball High School League debut yesterday, and holds a commanding lead against Just For Fun after two sets of play at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.
B-n-S, which league organizer James Feger said stands for Brothers and Sisters, got off to a sizzling start and strolled to an easy 16-6 first set win.
The only highlight for Just For Fun came from the hands of Anirut Tebuteb, who hustled and attempted to return the ball while facing his team’s goal. He connected and by the time he turned around to see if B-n-S was going to attack, his shot found the back of the net of the opposition’s goal for a 3-pointer.
Just For Fun had more trouble in the second set, and most was of their own doing as the team failed to convert on three first serves, resulting in the subtraction of points from their tally.
The team finished with two points in the set, while Myron Laniyo and his B-n-S cruised ahead and ballooned their lead with another 16-point performance.
The match resumes today with the third and fourth sets to be played. Although trailing by 24 points, 8-32, Just For Fun can still stir up a comeback as Rocball rules indicate that the team leading must win the fourth set to prevent overtime.
The team trailing when entering overtime—o-kon in Rocball terms—must win two sets in the extra session while the team leading must win just one set.
Laniyo currently leads the match with a xunk and three kees for eight points.
