(Kimberly A. Bautista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Public School System will be holding the Goodwill Girls Volleyball Tournament on Rota next month.<\/p>\n<p>According to PSS Athletic Program coordinator Nick Gross, they will bring Kagman High School, Saipan Southern High School, Marianas High School, and Tinian High School teams to Rota to play in friendly games. Rota and Tinian failed to field squads in the PSS Interscholastic Girls High School Volleyball Tournament that concluded last week. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re bringing over Kagman, Southern, Marianas High, and Tinian High School students to Rota because Tinian and Rota weren\u2019t able to make it to our volleyball tournament this year,\u201d Gross said.  <\/p>\n<p>The goodwill event was scheduled for Oct. 26, but has been pushed back to Nov. 22 due to Typhoon Buoloi that posed a threat to the Marianas last week. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to go to Rota on Nov. 22 to have two days of goodwill volleyball play. Star Marianas is doing a lot to transport our students and it\u2019s just difficult to get enough commutes to get teams over and everything in a succinct way,\u201d Gross said.<\/p>\n<p>The PSS staff also mentioned that the tournament will incorporate a sort of mental health discussion among high school students in the CNMI. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be doing a lock in because we\u2019re also treating this as a mental health opportunity to get a real good cross section of all three islands communities and the teenagers together. We\u2019re going to have campfire chats,\u201d Gross said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Public School System will be holding the Goodwill Girls Volleyball Tournament on Rota next&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":309043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-310913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-pss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
