Blott, a 5-8 outside hitter, led Lewis and Clark to the state title last November. Horn, a 5-9 outside hitter, played for Shadle Park during its championship season in 1993. Horn competed last season at Oregon State University.

Eastern Washington University announced the signing of 5-9 setter Toni Schwinn of Toutle Lake High and 6-1 outside hitter Deann Benson of Prairie High in Vancouver, Wash.
