For Pete's Sake

Volleyball player jumps headfirst into crowd, makes amazing save

This is called giving an all-out effort.

During the TC Volleyball NIT this week in Kansas City, Emery Dupes of the A5 Mizuno volleyball team from Alpharetta, Ga., leaped into the crowd and temporarily saved a point.

Dupes was about 10 feet behind the back line when she landed on the spectators. Her team didn’t win the point, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort.

You can see the play in the video above.
