    Quote from Julian Chow

    It very nearly worked... :huh:

    ikr :) I had my speech already written, but alas ... :(

    Tokai and Chukyo in a Tie Break :huh:


    And Kaetsu 2–0 TWCPE :huh:


    ?(

    Tokai 15–13 Chukyo


    Wow. Chukyo played with gusto. I only know one of their players, Kaede Tokuoka, because she was the beauty queen of Mie HS a few years ago when they had a good run with a good team before Japan put HS VB behind a paywall


    As for Kaetsu/TWCPE ... I won't be surprised if get another QF reverse sweep

    Aoyama

    Tokai takes the first set , and they look pretty good to me. Solid lineup ... They seemed so lost ever since Haruko Sasaki graduated :) and I haven't been paying much attention. Sort of like JT Osaka. They will always have good players but who cares, unlike Tsukuba who always has good players and you care :lol:

    Seems they've finally settled on juniors #12 and #13 as OHs. Big fan of both of them since they were freshman.


    #13, Nozomi Kohiro, played with Tokyo Sunbeams last season. A no knee pads speed server . #12 Urara Yamamoto, won Best Spiker Award as a freshman OP, and then didn't play much last year. Yuna Campos is playing OP. I haven't seen her play much but she gets pics and articles in vbm as someone to watch


    Emili Iiyama and some other big MB I don't know, with NEC's Tsukasa Nakagawa's little sister, Satsuki, at quarterback. Don't know any of the liberos. I love the name Satsuki

    Tsukuba 23–22 in the second set
    This might be a tasty match

    Holy moly. Come from behind win for Tokai Set 2. They were down several points getting to the 20s


    I don't know who that #21 is who just aced the set. I'm going to start paying attention to Tokai 8)

    Dang, I have to go to the store :white:


    Someone watch for me:box: I don't care who you root for

    Yikes! Tsukuba 25–23 ... can they pull a reverse sweep?


    I doubt it. Seems like this is the lineup Tokai has been working toward all year. They haven't been 100%

    Kanto Spring - 8th place
    Kanto Autumn - 7th place
    East Incare - 5th place

    All Japan Super College ???

    I can't decide what I think of this little girls' chorus :rolll: kinda cute and one of them seems mic'd and comments during the play

    Don't know who this Tokai #23 Yuka Shimada is :/

    :!::!: Tie :box: Break :!::!:



    Tokai shouldn't have messed with that lineup

    .... and I was at the store :|

    Tsukuba heard us.. they're responding, a fifth set seems imminent :roll:

    Either way this goes, it's been a super fun match


    Haven't seen the Final yet :lol: but this would have been a great Final :cheesy:

    These little girls are cracking me up :dance6:

    I can't tell who they are rooting for though :rolll::rolll:

    I don't know why they never offer stats for the All Japan Championship. They do for all the Spring and fall regional tournaments

    Akane Abe struts around like a gunslinger. She's so awesome :rose:

    :box::box::box: What humdinger :box::box::box:


    :cheesy:


    Reverse Sweep

    Insane


    :heart::heart:
