POST SEASON BEGINS

The regular season came to a close Wednesday with all three teams suffering hard fought losses to rival Kamiak. The jv and Frosh matches were very close and both teams played some of their best volleyball of the season. In particular Julia stood out with her back court play. The varsity celebrated Senior night with strong showings from all five departing players. We now prepare for EW's fifteenth straight trip to the Dist 1 playoffs. As the number three seed from the South we open against the number two from the North- Monroe. Match will be at 4:00 Wednesday at Marysville. We will play a second match that same evening. Players will get more info. at practice-complete bracket and bulletin can be found at NW Dist. 1 website. Hope you have enjoyed the 2010 season and will enjoy the rest of the 2010/11 school year. We encourage players to participate on club teams- [USVBA] and in Winter and Spring sports at EW. We also hope parents will become involved with Athletic Boosters [ABC] here at EW-especially the auction in March. Finally several thoughts on our Seniors- Jessica-four years /one varsity-arguably best technique on team, played both outside and opposite/ wonderful final match. Taylor- three years [lost Soph year to injury] one varsity/ led team with 180 assists. Becca- four years/two varsity /finishes fourth all time in career digs with 334. Ashley - three years at EW/two varsity /two time '100 Kill Club' and top ace server this year with 31. Syd- four years/three varsity -111 kills and 27 solo block kills.These five young women have played a large role in the success of the program over the past four years-they will be missed.

The Warrior volleyball team opened the regular season this week with a flourish. The return of Taylor Brooks and Becca Stern and the lessons learned during a very competitive pre-season contributed to a 2-0 start to the Wesco South 4A competition. Tuesday the varsity swept Jackson 3-0 and last night dispatched the Cascade Bruins 3-1. All thirteen varsity members made significant contributions. Of note,in last nights match the Lady Warrirs had season bests in all statistical categories. Ashley K-N, Syd D.,Sid E., and Selma combined for 44 kills Taylor and Maddie H combined for 43 assists. Becca and Selma contributed 22 and 17 digs respectively. Next week we take on a very experienced and talented rival in Kamiak. The Frosh made significant gains and dropped a hard fought 1-2 match to Cascade. The jv equalled the varsity success with two wins in league play. Again all members made significant contributions to coach Kirsten Mann's young team's victories. Special 'kudos' to middle blockers-Emma and Syd and to libero Julia [splitting time between varsity/jv] for their fine play and leadership. Two notes about upcoming events- First Booster club meeting on Oct. 11 at 7:00pm in the library and,put on calendar,-NOW JV Invite Oct.23.

NON-LEAGUE PLAY ENDS THIS WEEK

Two highlights- the varsity winning games four and five to defeat Meadowdale 3-2 and ,late Saturday evening ,after an epic battle the jv loosing to Blanchet in the championship of the Bronze division at the EW JV Invite.
