Veteran Dawson and a Partner Sub vs. Rookies Edwards and Cohron in AA Sand Volleyball
August 18, 2009 by Kimberly Edwards
AA Men’s 2-on-2 Sand Volleyball veteran Shaun Dawson & a sub partner battled the rookies, Kenney Edwards and Aaron Cohron last night at Yucatan Beach Club in Coppell, Texas.
Edwards and Cohron made a serious showing last week versus veterans, Gonzales and Pondrom, taking 1 game out of 3.
Last night, the games were so close for the rookies, but no cigar. However, Edwards and Cohron walked away with a draw in the 3rd game due to time limitations.
In the first game, the score ended up being an 18-14 point victory for the vets.
However, Cohron and Edwards game back with a vengeance in a 18-17 point victory to Dawson and his partner.
Tough final record for the rookies to swallow, as they came out playing tough against these veterans. Shaun Dawson and his usual partner, Trey Henderson, won the Champagne Volleyball Bubbly Cup a few weeks back at Yucatan Beach Club to qualify for the Barefoot Wine AVPNext Championship Cup in San Francisco tourney last weekend.
This tournament allowed the ultimate winner to play in the AVP Pro Tour that weekend on August 14-16th.
Trey Henderson and Shaun Dawson made it to the semi-finals in that tourney and had a fabulous time. Apparently, Henderson is still recovering from this past weekend’s tourney.
So, all in all the rookies were holding their own…they should be closing in on some serious wins coming soon.
As for Chad Gonzales and Jason Pondrom, who played Edwards and Cohron last week, they took a 3 win victory last night against Zak Elliot & Mack Sanders, also rookies this season moving up from A to AA.
Pondrom having already qualified for the AVP Crocs Manhattan Beach Open earlier this summer, Gonzales played in the Lone Star Volleyball Club tourney to qualify as well with another partner. They won the tournament, with teams in A and AA playing against each other, and has qualified for the AVP Crocs Mahattan Beach Open as well. Congratulations Chad!
Who will play each other next week? You’ll just have to stay tuned for more info…
Come on out on Monday nights to Yucatan Beach Club in Coppell, Texas and watch these raging battles of sand volleyball giants!
