Gresham’s He-Man team takes home the gold after losing second round game

There is possibly no better way to raise money for charity than to have a little friendly game of men’s volleyball against Barlow.

He-Man volleyball was last held here in the main gym. The He-Man volleyball team took the Bruins to the third set before the Gophs came out victorious. This time, however, Barlow challenged a rematch at their home court.

“I come to events like this because I want to support my friends, beat Barlow and get weird,” senior Alex Linstad said.

Barlow charged two dollars to get in. Like last time, the proceeds went towards Doernbecher.

“I think Barlow put this on because they want to beat us at everything but they can’t. But really, they did it for charity too,” senior Pearly Walton said.

Both athletic directors came to the event to referee and Barlow supplied the line judges.

Adding to the team this time around were seniors Ethan Hamilton and Austin Spicer, junior Grady Walker and sophomore Melako Arango.

“Our best players, Grady, Ethan and David Vorobets, are better than any of their players,” Walton said.

Barlow also had a new announcer, junior Alex Ray. Ray stated that he is running for ASB President next year and looks to put these games on again.

“I would come to events like this in the future,” sophomore Bailey Allen said, “These are fun and enjoyable because they bring in good money for charities.”

Ray also stated that next year, the winning team will be given a trophy. However, this year, for the first time ever, the team took home the title of He-Man volleyball.

Barlow had won the three-game series coming back after beating them the first game of the series. Many thought it was because of home court advantage, yet they did not have as many fans attend.

“This time around was better because there was more people. More of my friends knew about it,” Linstad said.

Although the team had lost the series of the three games, there needed to be a tie-breaker. Each school had won a series.

“Gresham has so many more fans. It really pumped us up throughout the games,” Walton said.

It came down to the tie-breaker game, which consisted of just one game. The team that scored 25 points first would win.

The Gophers’ He-Man team came out victorious in the end and the crowd on both sides seemed to agree that the event was fun in all the games and series.

Walton was right when she stated that the team would win again like last time.
