Informational Meeting

Current Kentlake students that are interested in spring and summer activities should attend the meeting on Friday after school. Current 8th graders are busy with middle school volleyball and should participate with those activities instead. Look to this blog for more information about summer activities.

8th Graders

Current 8th graders (incoming freshmen) can attend summer practices after the last middle school volleyball matches. There are matches on Tuesday, June 1st, so they can start Wednesday, June 2nd.

Practice that week is from 2:30 to 4:30 and the middle schools don't get out until after 3pm, so we fully understand that you will be late. This is unavoidable and no 8th graders should leave school early to attend practice.

New Season Approaches

A new season of Kentlake Volleyball approaches. We will be updating the blog and the website with information about spring and summer activities. Later in the summer we will have information about tryouts (which start August 23rd this year, by the way).

Volleyball Banquet

The banquet will be held on Nov. 23rd (Monday) at 6pm in the commons. Desserts and coffee will be served. There will be no meal.

Club VB Open House

KJVBC, one of the premier volleyball clubs in the entire Pacific Northwest, will host an open house/orientation this Sunday at 4:30p-5:30p at Kentwood. While obviously slanted towards KJ, this would be an excellent time learn about club volleyball in general. Tryouts for club start November 4th for junior high players and November 18th for high school age players.

Game at Auburn Riverside

Tonight Kentlake takes on SPSL North leader Auburn Riverside. #5 Riverside is led by #5 Senior OH Brooke Bray who is averaging about 20 kills/match and #3 Junior Setter Brooklynn Bradbury who is averaging about 40 assists/match. Please make the trip down to Riverside to cheer the Falcons to victory.

Thursday the Falcons host Kent-Meridian in a critical match if Kentlake is to make the playoffs followed by Senior night on the 26th against Kentwood.

Only three matches left in the run for the playoffs. Please be there for our team.

Game Tonight Against Auburn

There are home contests this evening against Auburn. Auburn is 1-0 in conference (a 3-2 victory over Kentridge at home) and 3-1 overall (plus a non-reported game against Auburn Riverside). This is a very important match for the Kentlake Varsity so we need everyone to come and cheer Kentlake on to victory.

Tuesday Home Match with Tahoma

Come out and cheer the Falcons to victory over Tahoma on Tuesday. The JV and Freshman contests are at 6pm followed by the Varsity at 7:15pm. Tahoma is a deceptive 1-4 on the season with losses to SPSL South powers Rogers and Curtis and to Kentwood. It should be a good match.

We need people to help with concessions for JV/Freshman (a JV parent could still watch the game while doing concessions) and scorebook for the Freshman game.

We also need lines for JV and Varsity.

Reminder: There is a home match against Auburn on Thursday.
