Marianas High School Dolphins and Saipan International School Geckos lead the NMIVA-Public School System Boys High School Volleyball League 2023-2024 heading into the playoffs after their wins in the last regular season game last Tuesday at the MHS Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins came out of the regular season unscathed as they won their eighth game over Saipan Southern High School Manta Rays in two swift sets.<\/p>\n

MHS\u2019 rotating roster of Jerome Manzon, Nehemiah Coleman, Yeshaiah Coleman, Kyle Sang Hyun Moon, Mokyang Kim, Juruel Magtalas, Lowell Lumauag, and K.C. Nuyles had a commanding 21-12 win in the first set.<\/p>\n

The Manta Rays put up a better fight in the second, but still succumbed to the Dolphins\u2019 stronger offense and unbreakable chemistry. In a pinch, the Dolphins kept their undefeated record with a 21-14 final set win.<\/p>\n

In one of the final games of the night, the Geckos stuck the landing with their seventeen win as they defeated Grace Christian Academy Eagles in also two fast sets.<\/p>\n

SIS\u2019 powerful overhead spikes and overpowering kills allowed them to scoop up the first set, 21-11. They took their momentum in the second set as a much better prepared Eagles team tried to force a tie-breaking third set.<\/p>\n

However, SIS\u2019 rotating roster of Omari Joab, Casey Chambers, Sui Yi, Christian Newman, Ian Song, William Sosa, Dwight Crisostomo, and Kyle Kramer dealt the Eagles blow after winning blow.<\/p>\n

Before GCA knew what hit them, the Geckos took the second set, 21-12, and solidified their second place spot heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n

In other results that day, MHS III bested SIS II, 21-10, 21-17; Agape Christian School II toughed out three sets against KHS II, 18-21, 21-19, 15-10; MHS II beat SSHS II, 21-11, 21-14; and ACS routed KHS, 21-12, 23-21.<\/p>\n

The championship series is set for today, tomorrow, and Saturday at the MHS Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Saipan International School\u2019s Omari Joab delivers a powerful kill past two Grace Christian Academy defenders during their last regular season game last Tuesday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium to end the NMIVA-Public School System Boys High School Volleyball League 2023-2024 at 7-1 heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
