Pottstown RumbleVolleyball Results

With the AVP Tour in nearby Belmar, New Jersey there were concerns the 17th Annual Pottstown Rumble would take a hit in attendance. However, the Rumble managed to raise the bar again with 1,620 players, up almost 100 players from last year's total. On the women's pro side, now 4-time champion Cameo Neeman teamed up with 2-time champion Lauren Schmidt to defeat Melanie Dahl and Hiedi Miller in a tight match which showcased hard hitting by Neeman and Schmidt to put away Dahl and Miller 15-12.

Men's pro action saw 67 teams, making it the deepest and toughest field yet with multiple AVP teams. One AVP team came out the winner as Adam Roberts (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) & Eyal Zimet (Israel) defeated Mike Salek (Brooklyn, New York) and Seidu Anajenko (Accra, Ghana). Between Zimet's timely big blocks and Salek and Anajenko's costly miscues on jump serves, Roberts and Zimet prevailed 15-12.

6 time champions Beetle Baily and Jason Robertson bowed out in the quarterfinals, losing to the 3rd/4th place finishers Nate Ocasio and Dave Fisher.

Thanks to all players and spectators for making this year's Rumble, another great one! Mark your calendar for next year's Rumble - June 27 & 28, 2009. See you there!!!
