It seemed appropriate that Mead and Central Valley would finish their volleyball seasons Saturday playing on side-by-side courts. Both went out in style, too, as Mead (29-3) held off Bellarmine Prep 3-2 to take fifth place and CV (28-7) toppled Tahoma 3-1 for seventh place as the State 4A tournament wrapped up at Toyota Center.
It wasn’t hard to identify which team answered the bell during the second half of the Battle of the Bell. Mt. Spokane (5-1) outscored Mead 20-0 after halftime Friday at Albi Stadium to dispatch main rival Mead 30-14 in the annual spirit game.
For a guy who had never scored a goal in the Western Hockey League before Saturday, Jaret Anderson-Dolan sure made people sit up and take notice. Anderson-Dolan not only scored his first WHL goal, but he added two more for a hat trick while helping the Spokane Chiefs rally from a 4-2 deficit for a 6-4 win over the Tri-City Americans in a season opener at the Arena.
The Spokane Chiefs will start the Western Hockey League season at home for the first time in 15 years. After the 2015-16 season kicks off at the Arena on Saturday night, it may seem like another 15 years before the next Chiefs home game.
