Straight from the beaches of Harpoon Eddie's, comes the best volleyball team in bar history!

2003-  That's right, the Aqua Dolphins, despite being disqualified for being UNDERAGE, completely dominated the competition, despite being outmanned, and often times at a disadvantage due to scheduling, posted a 9-0 regular season record, only to fall in the second round of the playoffs to the eventual champion--barely. Even so, half the team had already left for college, so we just won't count that. This summer, the Aqua Dolphins will take their rightful spot as champion of Harpoon Eddie's Beach Volleyball Tournament, and may even join the Sweets On The Beach Tournament... And make up for the injstices we have suffered. Everyone at Harpoon's knows we are the best team there--not to mention the most popular... This year we'll prove why.

2004-  Corporate sponsorship is welcome (hint to Captain John's), so e-mail me for information on that.  Be that man, who uses the most popular team in Sylvan Beach to advertise for his business!

So, the playoffs have come and gone yet again, and the Aqua Dolphins are deprived of yet another championship, even though they finished the season with the best record at Harpoon's, going 29-10.  Dixon's Construction, who we beat handily earlier in the season, is the team we met in the championship this year, and they beat US handily this time.  Of course, they probably illegally pimped out their team with non-roster players, and used a 17 year old to do it, but hey, we weren't going to turn them in, that is below us.  So we trudge on to next season, hoping to upgrade our team with some new stand out players, and again avoid the inevitable exodus of our star players for college each year.  Highlight of the season, however, is the fact that we TROUNCED Hondo's in an epic game in which the best of our team, and the worst of their's was exposed for all to see.  Later on, of course, as tensions flared in the championship game, the main moron from Hondo's squad challenged us from the bar, and of course we were all ready to give it a go, and he sat down, thoroughly embarrassed in front of the entire bar.  Special thanks to Kylee for filling in for Darryl during the championship, and bah to Craig for leaving us to be with his boy band!

-We are not sure whether there is one person on Hondo's that is specifically named Hondo, or if they just happen to call everyone on the team Hondo--the latter would make more sense since they can barely split a brain amongst all of them...  Yeah.

The Aqua Dolphins

The roster includes:

 

Darryl Manzer (Doomsday)- Despite having to adjust to the unforgiving sands of beach volleball, this hard court star proved that making the two girls on the team play the court all the time wasn't as big of a handicap as the other teams hoped... In fact, they regreted it heartily... When she SPIKED THEM IN THE FACE.

Emily Manzer (Fatback)- Nope, she's not just a littler version of Darryl. Emily had the most consistent serve on the team, and the other teams always "dreded" her turn of service. HAHA! *cough* Emily will not be returning next summer.

Trevor Burt (Teebzzz)- Trevor's serve was hindered slightly by a bum shoulder, but that did not stop one of our more consistent set up men from diving every where on the court like a crazy... Diver... Guy. Yeah.  And, as he has shown, he can spike in the face of fat head.  Hoot.

Chuck Hurd (The Buckmaster)- Chuck's blocking was invaluable--even if this dolphin got "caught in the net" too much. His intensity will always be a valuable asset to the team, even if he gets a little too happy sometimes...  And a little too upset.  Scratch that, maybe he's just bipolar.

Craig Radley (C-Pac)- One of two big servers on the team, Craig can also do a variety of other things well, when needed. His net play is good when he doesn't miss the ball, and he can set up as well as anyone else on the team.  Editor's Note: It is funny enough when Craig misses the ball and it bounces right off his head that it should be considered a blessing that he chooses to do so once every few games.  ZING.

David Teesdale (Da' Dark Thunder)- Serving is a particularly strong asset in his repetoire, but his net play (blocking especially) is the strongest aspect of his game. The serve can be inconsistent at times, but there is no match for the spikes and the blocks. Simply face shattering. Especially if you are a little old lady.  Haha.

Norm Leech (Norm L)- Another big net player, Norm added even more consistency to the team--this guy can place the ball with the best of them, and his serve consistency saved us numerous times.

 

Justin Casey (Scumbag)- Justin will be a valuable asset returning next season as a very well rounded player, who's consistency will be well needed. His net game is also turning out to be an asset--Despite the perm.

 

Tracee Vanderhoof (Teabagg)- Tracee is our newest, awesome-tacular girl.  She's wicked consistent, and definitely the most intense player on the team.  Gotta love the way she calls the ball.  See you next year, hopefully!

 

Scott Manzer-  Darryl's dad.  He'll be a new addition in 2005 and we'll see if his coup attempt pays off.  Heh.  He knows how to play volleyball, which is a new thing for us, so maybe he can teach us a thing or two.  I think I'll call him Yoda.  A really tall, not green Yoda.  Maybe he can learn to talk like him.  Yeah.

 

Moon Burke-  Another new addition, Moon played for Camden Varsity's squad, and is gonna kick some boot.

 

Mike Baker-  We don't actually know if he knows how to play volleyball, but we're gonna find out!  Just kidding Bake.  Heh.

Special thanks to Kelly Schremph, and Nikki Calandra, who filled in for Darryl and Emily in the playoffs the summer of 2003, and Kylee LaRock, who filled in for Darryl in 2004.  And to me, because, well, I'm awesome. 

Also, special thanks to the Aqua Dolphins cheering section, especially Kelly and Paige. You guys even have your own uniforms!  Bill Wright, you are also one cool dude.

Dear Leader:

Look at this picture.  Everyone is staring at their fearless leader, intently.

 

Yes, by fearless leader I mean me, stupid.

The Cheer Squad
Couldn't have done it without you guys!

Gettin' Set:

Emily:  "Holy crap, did Craig just fart?  That's rank, man, you should really get that checked out!"

Craig:  "Woops.  Teehee."

 

Based on a not-so-true event that would be really funny.

Striking a Pose:
That's right, Chuck, work the angles.  Work them, that's right.
Huh?:

Chuck's butt making another special appearance.

Regrets:
You can't really see it, but Chuck is flipping off a really big dude at the bar.  He only spent three days in the hospital too!
Touchdown:
Yeah, Emily may have tackled Justin before he could make the set.  So what, we lost the game, but it was hilarious!
What!?:

Hmm.  Graceful?  Or gay?  You decide.

Hmm:

Yeah, there's nothing funny about this picture...

Except Justin grabbing his manland.

Funny:

Whoo!  You smell that?

Bloop!:
Yep, that's me bloopin' one over fat head...
Intense:
Do I look intense or constipated?
