In an exciting volleyball showdown in Palarong Pambansa 2024, Region VII Central Visayas emerged victorious against Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), winning in two straight 25-18 and 25-22. The match was held at University of San Jose Recoletos Basak Campus last July 11, 2024.
With Marc Lemuel Tangon’s powerful spikes and heavy serves, Region VII dominated in the first set, pulling ahead early and maintaining their lead to finish the first set at 25-18.
The second set was more competitive with CAR taking control early. A crucial 3-0 run by Region VII, however, allowed them to catch up, ultimately winning the set at 25-22.
The standout player of the game was their team captain, Jester Clyde Bayang, who logged a remarkable performance with 21 excellent sets. Bayang’s precision and strategic plays kept CAR on their toes and enabled his teammates to execute powerful attacks.
“Dako kaayong tabang ang kaning una namo nga daog sa among confidence kay ang sunod namo na mga ma kontra kay lig-on na kaayo, dili na kompyansahan,” Bayang said. (This first win is a huge boost to our confidence because our upcoming opponents are very strong, and we can’t afford to be complacent)
Region VII Central Visayas is set to face Region V Bicol Region in their second game of the Palarong Pambansa 2024 on July 12, 2024.
