Blazers burn out against RM
The boys’ volleyball team lost at Richard Montgomery, 10-15 12-15, Thursday night in their first game back from Spring Break. The Blazers took a big lead midway through the second game, but were unable to hold off a strong Richard Montgomery team that eventually overcame a 7-point deficit to win the match.
In the first game, the Blazers dug themselves a hole, falling behind by as many as six points. Richard Montgomery won the game on a controversial pass that coach Rajesh Rathnam claimed was a "carry."
After falling behind 0-2 in the second game, the Blazers staged a 10-1 run that put them up by 7 points. After a timeout, Richard Montgomery put on a run of their own, rallying to tie the game at 12 before finally putting the match away.
Blair was led by senior team captains William Hwang, who had 9 kills and 3 aces, and Sang Ahn, who had 7 kills. It was a hard fought match featuring many long volleys.
Rathnam says that the team fared pretty well against Richard Montgomery, which he pointed out is a tough opponent. "They’re one of the best teams in the county," he said. "We hung around with them pretty well so we must be up there too."

If tim played, u guys would've goten beat!
First of all, congrats to all four teams for playin. All vballers get props from me.
I love the level of maturity in these postings. It's just beautiful, I mean, where else can people from both schools voice their opinion on how much the other team sucks and how they'll dominate in a rematch? Where no one will accept the fact that they won, or lost, and thats that? All class acts, bravo to you all.
like tracey said, congrats to richard montgomery and good luck to blair in the playoffs.
