ASHSAA Girls Volleyball season is underway — 8 teams competing

The American Samoa High School Athletic Association (ASHSAA) Girls Volleyball season is now underway with eight teams in this year’s ASHSAA 2012-2013 season.

Last season and current Varsity Champions, the Samoana Sharks will be coming into this year’s season with a big load on their shoulders as they defend their title by competing against seven other teams.

Last week during their first game of the season, the Sharks were downed by the Tafuna Warriors, not only in Varsity match up, but the Junior Varsity as well. But the Sharks are not in an unfamiliar spot. Last year they knocked off the #1 Leone Lions in the playoffs and the #2 Warriors in the championships and they did this seeded at #4. But this is a new season, with new attitudes and different players.

Last year the Varsity Faga’itua Vikings was one of the better teams, but failed to make the playoffs and they started out with a loss last week against the Lions.

The underdogs South Pacific Academy Dolphins, are coming into the season with a new attitude, as there are games scheduled to be played at their home court now, which no doubt will give them motivation.

Games are played on Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s, with a scheduled starting time of 4:30 p.m. for the Junior Varsity games, with the Varsity to follow.

ASHSAA Volleyball coordinator Tumua Matu’u invites the public out to all of the games in support of ASHSAA sports.

Tomorrow’s games will have the Nu’uuli VocTech Wildcats visiting Faga’itua High School to take on the Vikings, while there will be Junior Varsity action at South Pacific Academy as the Kanana Fou Stallions take on the Warriors. In the Varsity match up at the home of the Dolphins, the Dolphins will take on the Stallions.

Here are the teams for this year’s 2012-2013 season.
