Flush It! rallied back from a 5-9 deficit on Thursday night to down the Clam Smackers 15-13 in the single elimination tournament of the Top 8 teams from the regular season of the 6th Annual Miller 4-Person Beach Volleyball League.
Led by the league’s most valuable player Don Dunlop, Flush It! refocused their collective efforts to overcome mighty Clams, with teammates Aleta Glaze, Rannel Calexterio, Quincy Johnson, Jason Park, Marivic Rosario, and Richard Sikkel.
After players from all of the uniquely named teams competed on the sand courts of the Pacific Islands Club for weeks to decide the regular season champion, the top teams were invited to partake in the one-night tournament.
The Clam Smackers started the tournament as the eighth seed, but quickly gained respect as they upset the regular season champion Sleezy Lambleezies, 15-11. They followed that up with a 15-5 shellacking of the Dragon Flares to get into the first place game.
Flush It! was expected to do well in the tournament, having suffered one loss throughout the regular season. They started their night with a win against an injury riddled Bill Bratzski’s, 15-10, and carried the momentum into their following match with rivals Bend It Like Megan.
Flush It! won the game by a 15-8 score, but the total was not a fair indication of how close the game was. Both teams had to fight for every point, but it was not to be for the crafty Bend It Like Megan.
The Clam Smackers’ Doug Dewitt was voted by representatives from all of the teams as the league’s most improved player, and was rewarded with a case of Gatorade, as did Dunlop for the MVP.
The champions were awarded seven PIC waterpark passes and a meal at the Magellan restaurant for their winning ways, while the runner ups received seven water park passes.
