Twitter

Kentlake Volleyball does have a Twitter account and Coach Grady will probably use it more this year than we have in the past. In the past we have posted game scores to the Twitter and that is about it (other than automatic forwarding of all these lovely blog posts ;)).

We would encourage you to sign up for our Twitter feed at twitter.com/kentlakevb (I know, real original name).

Non League Matches Added

Two non-League matches have been added for Varsity and JV (neither opponent has a "C" team). Kentlake will travel to Enumclaw on Tuesday, September 18th and Lincoln will complete the home-and-away series begun last year when they travel to Kentlake on Wednesday, September 26th.
