School Record in Block Assists

With eight block assists (and 10 total blocks) against Kentwood, Kentlake Junior Sean Taylor set a new school record. There is no school record for total blocks although it is very likely that 10 blocks in a match would be a new record. This is the first school record since 2008.

On Thurdsday Kentlake will travel to Auburn HS in a must-win match.

Falcons Down Rams

Behind 14 kills from Victoria Boyko and 11 kills from Sean Taylor, the Kentlake Falcons defeated the Mount Rainier Rams 3-1 in action Wednesday night. Mount Rainier proved to be a "scrappy" team but did not have the hitters to challenge the better Falcons.

Kentlake easily won the first two games (25-11 and 25-12) before Coach Grady mixed things up including having Senior Setter Ginger Nason play OH. Unfortunately a disorganized Falcon squad give Mount Rainier too much of a lead and was not able to come back in time and the Rams won 26-24. Kentlake was back in control in game four and cruised to victory 25-18.

Lexi Lockhart led the Falcons in hitting percentage (.471 with 9 kills and only one error in 17 attempts). Jacy Wilson had 23 assists while Ginger Nason finished with 17. Libero Erin Ryan had 15 digs. Gaby Drllevich had 8 kills.

Mount Rainier Comes to Kentlake

In the only match this week, Mount Rainier visits Kentlake this evening. The Rams are 1-7 on the year with every match being a sweep. According to their Facebook page, the Rams have been bothered by injuries making an already difficult season that much more difficult.

Falcons Down Bears

Behind the 11 kills and 3 aces from Victoria Boyko, 8 kills, 3 aces and 7 blocks from Sean Taylor and 8 kills from Lexi Lockhart, the Kentlake Falcons downed the Tahoma Bears in five sets. Marisa Lytle hit .385 (6 kills and 1 error on 13 attempts) while Taylor DiLenardo hit .444 (5 kills and 1 error on 9 attempts) to lead the Falcons in that category. Erin Ryan had 17 digs while Ginger Nason had 20 assists to lead the team.

There is no practice for Varsity on Friday.

Tahoma Tonight

Kentlake travels to Tahoma for a "must win" match against the Bears. Tahoma is 1-1 in League and 2-5 overall with a 5 set loss to Kentridge and a sweep of Mount Rainier. Tahoma is led by coaches daughter MB Kylie Eager. Tahoma is always a tough place to play so come out and support our Falcons in a critical match for Districts.

Kentlake Defeats Lincoln

Kentlake easily defeated the Lincoln Abes Wednesday night, 25-12, 25-14, 25-7 behind the 10 kills (10 of 16 for .625 hitting percentage) from Sean Taylor and 8 kills from Lexi Lockhart. Ginger Nason had 15 assists and Jacy Wilson had 8.

Kent Classic

Despite a 2-2-1 record and finishing tied for 22nd, there were a lot of positives out of the Kent Classic for Kentlake. Obviously leading the #2 team in the state (Mead) late in both games (before ultimately falling 18-25, 21-25) was promising, but could have been better. All day long the entire team played well.

Some individual highlights include Victoria Boyko with 10 kills against Mead (and 31 overall), Lexi Lockhart with 6 kills against Garfield (and 14 overall, outstanding for a right side), Marisa Lytle with 9 kills and 9 blocks, including 5 blocks against Monroe, Gaby Drllevich with 4 aces against Lakeside and 7 kills against North Kitsap (and second on the team with 15 overall), Lexi Lockhart and Sean Taylor each with 8 blocks, Ginger Nason with 45 assists and Taylor DiLeonado with 4 blocks against Lakeside.

Falcons Beat TJ

The Kentlake Varsity and JV both defeated Thomas Jefferson on Wednesday. Varsity swept TJ 3-0 and JV won 2-1. Varsity was led by Marissa Lytle with 8 kills (8 of 11 with no errors for .727 hitting percentage), Victoria Boyko with 7 kills (in only two games) and Sean Taylor with six kills (6 of 7 with no errors for a .857 hitting percentage) and four blocks.

Going into the Kent Classic on Saturday, Sean Taylor has a .457 hitting percentage for the year (anything over .300 is usually considered excellent) with 26 kills, 12 blocks and 51 service attempts, Victoria Boyko has 28 kills, 7 aces, 99 service receptions and 36 digs, Erin Ryan has 89 service receptions and 45 digs, Lexi Lockhart has 8 blocks and Ginger Nason has 49 assists.
