2010 AVP Fort Lauderdale Tournament
The 2010 season is already starting and the qualifiers are going on today. There have been a lot of changes in some of the top teams in the AVP this season. Casey Patterson and Ty Loomis split up after 1 short season together where they won 1 tournament in 2009. Ty Loomis is playing with Matt Prosser and Casey Patterson is playing with Kevin Wong, making them 1 the tallest team on tour. They both stand around 6’7″ which means that opposing teams are forced to serve the tall player. They both side out very well and have amazing ball control. They are going to be a very hard team to beat in 2010. Casey may be better at defense than he is at blocking which means that they will be strong on offense and defense. Look for them to be in the top 4 this season.
Another player to watch from Utah is Bryan Stewart. He measures 6’5″ but has one of the most impressive blocks on the AVP. He is a new player but saw a little success last year and is looking to make much more money in 2010. He is starting the season off by playing with Daniel Dalanhese who is also from Utah. They have a very difficult starting position in the Fort Lauderdale tournament by playing against Ty Loomis first and then against team giant, Casey Patterson and Kevin Wong. Action starts tomorrow for all of the pre-qualified players.
