Mark "The Hammer" GrippThe Community Corporate Cup has a new Volleyball champion for the first time in six years as the Griffin Hospital Scrubs team played like anything but Scrubs as they spiked the field to capture the title in the tournament played at Shelton Intermediate School. The Scrubs had a near perfect day as they went undefeated in the round robin bracket play and earned the number 3 seed for the single elimination championship tournament. Their seeding proved to be too low as they knocked off IDA International 15-6 and Griffin's "Thanks for Coming" team 15-10 before sweeping runners-up Birmingham Health Group by scores of 15-6 and 15-11 in the championship round. Birmingham Group had evened the score at 11-11 in the second game before Mark "The Hammer" Gripp produced the final four points with his strong serve to give the Scrubs the title.

The Birmingham Group had also gone undefeated in the round robin play and had won their bracket earning them the overall #1 seed for the championship play. They toppled the Griffin Outsiders and Rifkin Travel before stumbling in the final against the Scrubs. Team members included John Yeager, Phyliss Kaplan, Linda Cline, Dave Bassett, Greg Caloor and Pam Austen.

Griffin's other two teams did very well also as Griffin "Thanks for Coming" finished third as they topped Rifkin Travel in the consolation game and the Griffin Outsiders finished fifth.
