Graduation Day

Tomorrow is Graduation Day for the six Seniors from the 2008 team: Amelia Hilsen, Amanda Ogle, Amber Anderson, Brittany Jamison, Maggie Henley and Kathy Taylor. Four of the six are in the top 25 in the graduating class, and the other two were only slightly lower. Amanda will play Rugby at Central Washington. Kathy will play Volleyball at Whitworth on an academic scholarship.

From the first day of practice as Freshmen it was apparent that this was a good group of girls and a good group of volleyball players. The Freshman Team (minus Brittany who played Varsity all four years and Amanda who played JV that first year) went 14-1 including a memorable match against Kentridge where they were trailing 13-2 in the deciding game and Amber served them to a 16-14 victory.

From the highs of winning a game at State this year and the dramatic victory over Bellarmine two years ago to get to State to the lows of the walking MASH unit that was the junior season, this group of girls has been the heart and soul of the team. They will be missed. We wish them all the best wishes for success in the future.
