    34th Annual Footerest Volleyball tournament In the Books

    The 34th Annual Footerest Volleyball Tournament was held this past weekend at Bettum’s Idlewood Family Campground in Lewis Run.

    Team “GOOSH” won the top honors over the weekend. The tournament was a great success with great competition from many states; mostly PA and NY, but from other states such as Ohio and Virginia as well.

    The co-ed tournament had three divisions: Open, Power and Semi-power. The tournament is held with all teams playing in round robin pool play Saturday from 9:30 am till 6:30 pm. Then a bonus two on two tournament was squeezed in Saturday evening and finished Sunday morning. To complete the weekend, the double elimination play for the 6 on 6 teams was run Sunday all day winding down about 4:30 pm Sunday evening.

    The open division team (Division “AA”) playing in the round robin play Saturday with team “Goosh”, (Canton, PA) coming out on top of their division with a record of 19 wins and one loss.

    The power division (Division “A”) teams also played round robin Saturday with team “Glizzy Gladiators”, (Bernville, PA); rounding out their day on top with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses.

    The semi power division (Division B), saw team “Bri Starks” (Bradford, PA); clench their division with a record of 10 wins and 10 losses.

    The 2 on 2 games started Saturday evening with five teams battling for the bragging rights of the additional endurance event held after the 6 on 6 round robin play.

    The 2 on 2 title was captured by Jim Gavin (Etters, PA) and Shawn Wilson (Alexandria, VA), who beat out Emma Pilon (Bradford, PA) and Kerry Littlefield (Elmira, NY). Jim and Shawn went thru the winners bracket undefeated to claim the championship win.

    Sundays 6 on 6 double elimination game play began around 9:30 and saw the Open teams, Power teams and Semi-power teams square off in a double elimination day.

    At the days end we saw the Semi-Power Division controlled by team “Bri Starks” (Bradford, PA) who wanted no part of the long hot day, so they went undefeated beating out team “Molly’s Mud Dogs” as the day wound down to clinch the division for the tournament Semi Power division win.

    The Power Division was successfully controlled by team “Volley Wankers” (Orchard Park, NY) who traveled straight through to the winner’s bracket beating out team “Crofut” (Wellsboro, PA) to capture the Power Division.

    The Open Division is always a nail biter when team “Goosh” (Canton, PA) walked all the way through the winners bracket undefeated for the win.

    “Team Goosh” gained the ultimate bragging rights of the best of the best for the weekend and became the team to beat in 2026 at the 35th annual FooteRest Volleyball tournament.

    The 35th anniversary of the event will be held on July 11-12, 2026.  The proceeds from the event benefit the Evergreen Elm Activities fund.
