Volleyball Banquet

The banquet will be held on Nov. 23rd (Monday) at 6pm in the commons. Desserts and coffee will be served. There will be no meal.

Club VB Open House

KJVBC, one of the premier volleyball clubs in the entire Pacific Northwest, will host an open house/orientation this Sunday at 4:30p-5:30p at Kentwood. While obviously slanted towards KJ, this would be an excellent time learn about club volleyball in general. Tryouts for club start November 4th for junior high players and November 18th for high school age players.

Game at Auburn Riverside

Tonight Kentlake takes on SPSL North leader Auburn Riverside. #5 Riverside is led by #5 Senior OH Brooke Bray who is averaging about 20 kills/match and #3 Junior Setter Brooklynn Bradbury who is averaging about 40 assists/match. Please make the trip down to Riverside to cheer the Falcons to victory.

Thursday the Falcons host Kent-Meridian in a critical match if Kentlake is to make the playoffs followed by Senior night on the 26th against Kentwood.

Only three matches left in the run for the playoffs. Please be there for our team.

Game Tonight Against Auburn

There are home contests this evening against Auburn. Auburn is 1-0 in conference (a 3-2 victory over Kentridge at home) and 3-1 overall (plus a non-reported game against Auburn Riverside). This is a very important match for the Kentlake Varsity so we need everyone to come and cheer Kentlake on to victory.

Tuesday Home Match with Tahoma

Come out and cheer the Falcons to victory over Tahoma on Tuesday. The JV and Freshman contests are at 6pm followed by the Varsity at 7:15pm. Tahoma is a deceptive 1-4 on the season with losses to SPSL South powers Rogers and Curtis and to Kentwood. It should be a good match.

We need people to help with concessions for JV/Freshman (a JV parent could still watch the game while doing concessions) and scorebook for the Freshman game.

We also need lines for JV and Varsity.

Reminder: There is a home match against Auburn on Thursday.

Kent Classic - Help!

We need parents to signup to help for the Kent Classic this weekend. We need people to help with the concession stand and we need dishes for the hospitality room.

Whitworth Volleyball Match Video

All home matches for Whitworth University (and former Kentlake player Kathy Taylor) will be streamed free over the internet. Whitworth plays Linfield and Willamette this weekend. A link to the video is available at http://www.whitworth.edu/Athletics/Teams/Volleyball/Releases/2009/Sept16.htm. This is the opening of NW Conference play for the Pirates. They went 1-3 last weekend but played a very tough schedule at the Cal-Lu-Fornia Tournament at Cal Lutheran, sweeping #6 :a Verne but losing to #7 Trinity and #23 Cal Lutheran in five games.

Don't forget that tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

KW loses to KR

Kentwood lost to Kentridge, 3-2, tonight. Could be a very interesting year in Kent volleyball.

Varsity Beats K-M

Kentlake Varsity defeated Kent-Meridian, 3-2 (22-25, 25-14, 25-10, 22-25, 15-10). JV lost to KM, 2-0 (9-25, 10-25) while the Freshman team won, 2-0 (25-19, 25-18).

Games Tonight

All teams tonight at Kent-Meridian. Varsity at 7:15pm and JV and Freshmen at 6pm. Come out and cheer the Falcons to victory.

Club Tryouts

Local club volleyball teams are starting to announce tryout dates. Clubs are prohibited from having tryouts for high school age teams (U15 and up) until after the end of State. Most clubs will have tryouts during the week before Thanksgiving. They can start on November 18th and many will have them between then and that weekend.

Jammin' (Carly Stowell Foundation)

15 & 16 and 17 & 18 tryouts will be at Kentwood Main Gym from 12:30 – 4 on 11/21 (15/16 Coach is Laurie Kirkland and 17/18 coach is Elena Stowell)

Freshmen Take 3rd at Round Thunder

The Freshman Team took 3rd place at the Round Thunder Tournament on Saturday.

You can check out pictures from Ward Honbo at Flickr. He also has new pictures from their victory over Newport.

Freshman Schedule Revised

The Freshman team schedule posted earlier had Tahoma @ Kentlake on October 1st. The actual date is October 5th. That has been updated below. We apologize for any confusion. The text below the schedule had things right.
