Hello all,
It was a *gorgeous* holiday weekend for volleyball down at Ashbridges Bay
in Toronto, where the Jose Cuervo Canadian Pro Beach volleyball tournament
was held. I was playing v-ball at the other end of the beach for most of
those two days, but I did check out some of the tournament action.
The championship match was a definite blow-out, with Mike Chaloupka and
Paul Cox defeating Frank Blasse and Jim Cooke by a score of 15-2. <yawn>
Chaloupka is a HUGE man with a HUGE vertical, and the opponents had a
tough time hitting around his block. Paul Cox, by far the shorter of the
two, showed amazing quickness and foresight on defence.
I missed the men's bronze-medal match, as well as the women's gold- and
bronze-medal matches, so perhaps someone else will post a more complete
listing of scores.
