In the longing orange coat!
Joetsu Sogo Technical High School’s men’s volleyball club participated in the 75th All Japan Volleyball High School Championship, commonly known as “Harutaka Volleyball,” which began on Wednesday, April 4, as a representative of the prefecture. In their first match, they faced Shohei High School, representing Saitama Prefecture, and it was a close match that went all the way to the third set.
The tournament was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, and a total of 104 men’s and women’s teams participated. The Kazusa men’s volleyball club is participating in the 18th time for the first time in 6 years.
The match is a 3-set match and the winner is the one who wins 2 sets.
The beginning of the first set. Kazusa, in front of the team in the engineering uniform, gave Shohei the lead and struggled to get off to a good start. Even in the middle stages, it was difficult to catch up with Shohei, who was good at receiving.
Even so, it was Captain Ota’s intense power serve that shone. It is the ideal form to destroy the opponent and decide with ace Matsuki. Kobe’s spikes are added to this and catch up.
In the final stages of the game, I managed to get the juice, but the opponent spiked and I regrettably lost the first set 27-29.
Kazusa, who has no back, showed his tenacity in the second set. From the beginning, Matsuki and Kobe took the lead. The opponents also attacked with high speed attacks, but in the end, Ota scored to make it 25 to 23, bringing the set count to 1 to 1 and returning the game to the beginning.
In the 3rd set, both teams continued to clash with each other with all their might. Shohei tortures Kazusa with decisive fast attacks and accurate blocks.
Kazusa, on the other hand, scored three consecutive points from Matsuki, a power serve from Ota, and a broad attack while moving from Shimotori.
However, he was unable to catch Shohei’s back, which surpassed him in overall strength, and after a close match, he dropped 23-25 and lost with a set count of 1-2.
