Kentlake Travels to Lincoln

All three teams will travel to Lincoln High School in Tacoma for a 3:30 match with the Abes. Varsity will play at 3:30 followed by JV and "C". Or maybe not - the Lincoln schedule has JV and "C" playing first.

Lincoln is 2-1 on the season but may have played as many as five matches (two are listed as "No Info" on the TNT website but are duplicates of matches on other days).

From the Tacoma Weekly:

The Abes graduated seven seniors last year, but interest in the program remains strong, as 58 girls turned out this season.

Headlining the group is senior outside hitter Lyric Jones, a solid all-around player, while senior setter Iyris Fua shows good court awareness and leadership skills. Sophomore basketball star Tamia Braggs joined the team this season and has impressed early with her work ethic and focus, and incoming freshman libero Leea Jones – Lyric’s sister – is a skilled defender and excellent passer who should contribute early.

“Defense and passing are going to be our strength,” noted head coach Steve Johnson. “I’ve probably got more good passers this year than I’ve had in…I can’t remember how long.”
