br>Now that the 2000 beach season is here and Alemao is
staying home in<br> Brazil, Metzger is seeking success
with Ian Clark on the AVP Tour. They<br> played
together in the second US beach event of 2000 - the Delray
Beach<br> AVP Sunkist Tournament of Champions. The first US
beach event of the<br> year was the Oldsmobile Alero
Olympic Challenge Series Event in<br> Deerfield Beach,
Florida and Metzger played that event with Aaron Boss<br>
and finished fifth in a very strong field of players
that included both US<br> AVP and FIVB teams. This
included Ian Clark and Bill Boullianne, who<br> have
played together since the beginning of 1998. They won
the FIVB<br> Mexico Open in Acapulco in 1999. But
before the Deerfield Beach<br> event even began and
perhaps just looking for a change, they agreed to<br>
play with different partners for the AVP Delray Beach
event. A funny<br> thing happened in Deerfield Beach.
Clark and Boullianne finished<br> second - their best
finish since their win in Acapulco. It may be that
just<br> talking about a change motivated them in
Deerfield Beach.The current plan for future events is
for<br> Metzger to play with Clark in AVP tournaments and
Boullianne to play<br> with Clark in FIVB
tournaments.<br><br>Scott Ackatubby set to play AVP events with Bill
