Championship Summary
Sideout defeated RIH by forfeit

Perennial volleyball powerhouse Sideout entered the 1996-97 Co-Rec Volleyball Playoffs in an unaccustomed position with two league losses. Co-captains Michael Case and Everett Moss re-energized the squad and they responded with strong wins over
I.V. League (15-2, 15-8) and Bruise (15-2, 15-7). Sideout avenged one of their losses by ousting a tenacious Team Diesel squad (15-13, 15-13) to gain a berth in the finals.

RJH entered the playoffs undefeated and had disappointing wins-by-forfeit over The Stans and Lucy and the Keggers and a loss-by-forfeit to Sideout in the finals.
