MHS teams, SIS undefeated in MISO v’ball
Marianas High School’s varsity and junior varsity teams along with Saipan International School V are undefeated after the second day of action in the Marianas Interscholastic Sports Organization Girls Volleyball League last Tuesday at the MHS Gymnasium.
MHS varsity scored an easy 25-5, 25-19, 15-6 decision over their counterparts from Kagman High School to follow up its two wins over the varsity squads of Grace Christian Academy and Mt. Carmel School last week.
MHS V is on top of the 11-team field with a 3-0 card, followed by the 2-0 slates of MHS JV and SIS V.
MHS JV notched its second straight win after disposing of SIS JV, 25-14, 25-11, 15-9, while SIS V kept Kagman winless after three games with a quick 25-12, 25-19, 15-2 demolition.
Mt. Carmel improved its record to 2-1 following a 25-12, 25-18, 15-6 decision over Saipan Southern High School V, while SSHS JV and GCA V also defeated their respective rivals to bounce back from opening game losses.
Saipan Southern’s JV squad escaped with a 25-18, 25-20, 15-11 triumph over MCS JV, while GCA V dealt SSHS V its third straight loss, 25-13, 25-11, 15-12, to even their records to 1-1.
In other news, league organizers are reminding all coaches not to leave until all of their players have left the MHS campus.
“I know that we’re all hungry and tired by the end of the games, but the safety of our student-athletes must always comes first,” said Northern Mariana Islands Volleyball Association representative Toni Yamada.
She added that since most of the players, coaches, and fans are already adults they should be responsible enough to pick up their thrash.
“I find it quite disgusting when there is trash left behind. I hope it doesn’t come to a point where I’d have to station someone at the doors to make sure nothing comes into the gym.” (Jon Perez)
