2. Boston Cream Pie Brings Home the Gold!
The CBVA Board is thrilled to announce that a local team won the 2010 NAGVA BB Division Championships in Portland, Oregon during this past Memorial Day weekend! Out of 44 teams in the BB division, Boston Cream Pie brought home the gold!
Boston Cream Pie consisted of the following players [pictured from left to right: David Gillum (Outside), Peter Freeman (Middle), Oliver Wang (Opposite), Mike Gonyeau (Outside), Chris Thomas (Setter), Eugene Zakharov (Middle), and Andrew Martinez (Libero)].
David Gillum received the MVP for the division and Chris Thomas won All-Star.
We would also like to note that there was excellent representation from Boston in 3 of the 4 divisions at Championships: Boston Gasianpova (B), Boston Brasil (BB), Boston Teabaggers (BB), USA Triple Threat (BB), and Boston Paprika (A).
Many of the players from the aforementioned teams stayed to watch the BB division finals and could be heard cheering, "Boston, Boston, Boston," in rhythmic fashion. It was an amazing thing to hear and see. We would like to thank all of you who cheered on your friends and loved ones. The strong support shown to our local teams is something all members of CBVA can be proud of.
Finally, we would like to acknowledge Ryan Brady, NAGVA Secretary and CBVA Commissioner, for his part in making the NAGVA Championships such a fun and enjoyable experience.
