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.
