Steve Kopp and Jake Conrad played volleyball in the annual 2-on-2 Queen Of The Beach tournament on June 27 at Montrose Beach as Team Misty & Kerri.
However, they could have been dubbed Team Champions. Kopp and Conrad captured first-place in the top-tiered Queen Division.
Meanwhile, Will MacKenzie and Carlos Novenario ( Team We've Seen Beyonce ) captured first place in the Princess Division. Brian Zinser and Ed Budtz ( Team Thelma & Louise ) were the champions in the new Ladies-In-Waiting Division.
There were 30 teams in the 2-on-2 tournament.
"It was a great tournament, a lot of fun," said tournament co-director Bill Helton. "The event was bigger than last year and as much, if not more, fun.
"The competitors were all relaxed and easy to work with. And the level of play, especially in the upper division, was really good."
There also was a 4-on-4 portion of the tournament, with 10 teams and two divisions.
Team Hot Boys ( Emil Ocon, Alex Legaretta, Julio Yepez and George Sanchez ) were the champions in the top-tiered Queen Division. Team Volley of the Dolls ( Adam Becker, Hing Chan, Gabriel Lara and Adam Wargacki ) captured the Princess Division.
The tournament attracted players from Minnesota, Indiana and Florida.
