Regular season underway

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. There will be more info to follow about this tourney at a later date. GOOOO WARRIORS!

NON-LEAGUE PLAY ENDS THIS WEEK

Hard to believe we are already four matches and two tournies into the 2010 season. So far victories have been hard to come by,but the coaching staff is very excited by the improvment of all three teams. The current varsity has only two players with any previous varsity playing time and the jv has no returners. 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. Tomorrow we travel to play long-time rival Shorecrest and finish our pre league matches, Thursday with Snohomish in our second home match. Saturday the 25th the varsity travels to the South Whidbey Invite. Hope to see you at a match soon. GOOO WARRIORS
