Girls volleyball teams head to districts

ST. JOHN – The St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse girls volleyball team (13-8-1) wrapped up the regular season last week by sweeping Pomeroy and Tekoa-Rosalia, but being swept by Oakesdale.

The Eagle girls swept Pomeroy 25-23, 25-19, 25-18 on Oct. 20 and Tekoa-Rosalia 25-7, 25-19, 25-9 on Oct. 25.

They lost to the Knighthawks, 25-8, 25-7, 25-15 on Oct. 18.

In the most recent game at Rosalia, junior Kaitlyn Hough had 14 kills, followed by sophomore Kate Hergert with 5. Junior Kenzie Stanley and sophomore Emily Molina had 3 each, and Sophomreo Avery Fleming had 2.

Molina and Hergert led the Eagles serving attack with 8 aces each.

Hergert had 7 digs, followed by junior Cami Larsen with 6 and senior Addisen Becker with 3.

The win ended the season for the Timberwolves and guaranteed St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse a post-season berth.

The Eagle girls were scheduled to open district play at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, in Sunnyside against the Sunnyside Christian Knights (5-7).

The newspaper went to press before the game started.

The winner of that game advances to the district semifinals on Thursday night; the loser will drop to a loser-out game.

The district trophy games will take place Saturday at DeSales in Walla Walla.
