Wood Beavers Champions in Middle School Volleyball

Wood Beavers Fell the Competition in Middle School Volleyball Championships

An exciting and competitive middle school co-ed volleyball season came to a close Tuesday when the #1 seeded Wood Middle School Beavers defended challengers to clinch the championship titles in both the A and B divisions. The Middle School Sports program is run by the Alameda Education Foundation.

Wood dominated the B division this year with an undefeated record. In the championships, the Lincoln Lions kept it interesting, but Wood took it in two sets, 25-12 and 25-18. The A division was more competitive throughout the season with Wood facing losses from both Lincoln and the Academy of Alameda Olympians. The Academy made them work for this win, as well, taking the second set and forcing a third, but Wood gnawed their way to the trophy 25-11, 22-25, 15-5.

Middle School Volleyball is a program of the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) to enable public middle school students in Alameda schools the opportunity to compete in organized school sports. The AEF program also includes basketball (winter) and track & field (spring). Teams participate from the Academy of Alameda, Lincoln, and Wood middle schools, as well as a combined Nea/ACLC charter school team. The program is supported by community donations, grants, and modest player participation fees. The Foundation wishes to thank the Alameda Boys & Girls Club for use of their gym for the playoffs and championships.

Basketball games are set to begin in January 2012.
