Six teams converged in Bethel’s sand pit last weekend for the Bethel Volunteer Emergency Services Association’s annual mud volleyball tournament and fundraiser. Teams bumped, set, and spiked through rain and shine until one team reigned victorious: Run VLB, followed by runners-up Hit Faced. Rounding out the top three was team Kiss My Ace.
