GAA Boys Volleyball Team Makes Final Four

(Yona, Guam) For their first time at high school varsity volleyball, our boys did amazingly well! Coach Dwight McKeever supported his team’s decision to take their game to the next level, and did they ever! After playing 13 other teams around the island, the Angels made it to the final four playoffs. Considering there were only 9 players, of which a third were first time freshmen, another third, sophomores with none to one year of experience, many view this as a miracle. Team Captain AJ Asensio attributes it to the players’ faith in God, teamwork, and a terrifically awesome coach.
Does size matter? A point brought up by many was that GAA is a very small school and while it went up against other schools with populations, for some, upwards of two-thousand, they did a remarkably sound job on the court. “They exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just going to be a building year because we only had a couple of upperclassmen and only a few of the players had experience. They were beginners. Other teams stack their seasoned players,” said Coach McKeever. Boys’ Volleyball continues in the 3rd quarter of 2011. Last season’s players included: Captain AJ Asensio, Joshua Salas, Miguel Han, Jun Ho Jang, Joven Jano Edward, Lawrence Kasperbauer, DorienRay Peele, Yuya Kitadate, and Steven Guevarra.
Girls’ Volleyball begins in August.
