High school volleyball series in Spokane

The 19th annual Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association All-State East-West series will make its third and final stop tonight at Lewis and Clark High’s Squinty Hunter Fieldhouse.

The series pits graduated seniors in three matches, 4A, 3A/2A and 1A/B. Each match is three games played to 25 points, even if one team wins the first two games.

The 1A/B match kicks off today’s schedule at 3 p.m., with the 3A/2A match at 5 and the 4A match following at 7. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students, with kids under age 12 getting in free.

The 1A/B East squad, which won all three games in Thursday night’s kick off of the series at Fife High, features three girls from state B runner-up Almira/Coulee-Hartline and State 1A titlist Lind-Ritzville. ACH’s Kristen Dormaier had five kills and one ace in Thursday’s match.

The 3A/2A match will feature two Great Northern League athletes: Colville’s Kara Pein, who had a team-high 12 assists in Thursday’s match, and Pullman’s Mollie Hornfelt.

There are no Greater Spokane League girls playing in either the 3A/2A or the 4A match.

On Friday night in Yakima, the 1A/B East all-stars made it two straight wins over the West with a 25-21, 25-17, 25-15 victory. Lind-Ritzville’s Jessica Heidenreich and Tiffany Starring led the way with six kills apiece. The East beat the West 25-12, 25-22, 25-17 on Thursday night in Seattle.

In other scores at Yakima, the West evened the 4A series with a 14-25, 25-16, 25-17 win, while the East evened 3A/2A series with a 27-25, 31-29, 27-29 win.
