The dates for the 4A State Volleyball Tournament in Kennewick have changed to November 21st and 22nd. No idea how that will affect the SPSL post-season tournament dates that were based on the earlier announced dates of November 14th and 15th.
Unfortunately, the Toyota Center wrote the tournament dates down wrong and they scheduled a Jeff Dunham concert for the night of the 14th, so the tournament had to move. Gee, sounds like we have been there before. I wonder if the Tacoma Dome is busy?

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.

Free Clinics at Cedar Heights
Coach Behrens will be giving a series of free clinics for 7th and 8th graders at Cedar Heights on June 9th, 16th and 23rd from 3pm to 5pm in the Cedar Heights Gym. This is a great introduction to "Volleyball the Falcon Way" for those players.
Black Diamond Triathlon
The Kentlake Volleyball team is helping put on the Black Diamond Triathlon as a fundraiser for us. We need lots of assistance, so please bring your parents, brothers, sisters, hair dresser, whatever, we aren't picky, and sign up to help. You can signup online at http://www.kentlakevb.org/signup_triathalon.htm
Attention Incoming 9th Graders
Under WIAA [the state governing body for school activities] and Kent School District rules, middle school athletes cannot practice with their future high school team until after the last middle school spring sport has ended. This year that means until after June 6th. So, you are welcome, and encouraged, to come to summer practices, etc. but not until after June 6th.
Coach Behrens will have a meeting with incoming Freshman at Cedar Heights on Wednesday, May 14th at 3pm. Coach is trying to set up a seperate meeting with players from Mattson, or they are welcome to attend the meeting at Cedar Heights, although they will have to hustle to get there.
Incoming 9th Graders can help with the Car Wash on May 17th. That would be a good way to show early commitment to the volleyball program.
Coach Behrens is working with Coach Edwards at Cedar Heights to arrange for a free volleyball skills clinic for his players [both current 7th and 8th graders]. We are not sure the date for that yet, but again it will have to be after June 6th. Please watch this blog for more details.
