Posted on Nov 07 2005
The Lagooners are determined to bounce back from their loss to B-n-S and are in good shape to do so as the team leads Malat after two complete sets in the ongoing 2005 World Organized Rocball High School League.
The Lagooners encountered stiff resistance from Malat yesterday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium, but still managed to take the opening set and grab the early advantage. Denry Fiden highlighted the Lagooners’ charge, knocking in the ball for a goal and spearheading his team to a 16-11 victory.
It got a little easier for the Lagooners in the second set as they continued to hold control of the bout and padded their lead in the overall points tally with another well-earned victory. The team was on target with serves and combined to connect for several aces to win, 16-8, and increased its lead to 13 points, 32-19.
Time expired before the third set was completed Lagooners, however, still held a slim advantage. Malat awoke from their slumber and gave their opponents a good run for their money to keep the set close.
Action resumes today with the Lagooners up by two points, 13-11, in the set.
Fiden currently leads the match with 11 points courtesy of two aces, two xunks, and a goal, while Tito Francisco and Gary Phillip support with 10 points apiece. Francisco has five aces while Phillip has two aces, two xunks, and a kee.
Joel Satur leads Malat with four aces for eight points.
