Gaithersburg, MD >> For the third consecutive year, Jessica Marcantonio and Mindy Hooper of the Sovereign Grace staff have humbled the men of the Pastors College by defeating them in volleyball. In a rousing match cheered by fans on both sides, the carefully selected PC team of Darren Lander and Jared Mellinger, well, didn’t quite cut it. After a few early misses, the guys found their pace and started to look pretty strong. Before long they were ahead 13-8 in a 15-point game. With momentum on their side, the PC seemed positioned for an easy win. That’s when the ladies rallied, bringing home 7 consecutive points to seal the victory. The sad part is that, for the PC, this was their best year yet.

Good sports: Darren wishes Mindy well as the game begins. (To his credit, he acted like a gentleman after the game, too.)
Mindy and Jessica (l to r) prepare to return a serve.
Referee Bruce Chick exercises sports discernment while the PC students cheer on their team. Bruce serves as senior pastor of Sovereign Grace Community Church in Roanoke, Virginia, and came into town especially for this event (plus, he was teaching in the PC that week).

The happy (and humble) winners: Jessica and Mindy.
