PREP VOLLEYBALL ROUNDUP

Astoria 3, Scappoose 0...Sophie DeWitt led a balanced Astoria attack with 11 kills. Kristen Saulsbury banged out ten kills and Meredith Barnes hit .500 while putting away seven kills. Sophomore setter Kayce Lilley contributed a pair of kills while dishing out 15 assists. Sara Cullen added ten assists and Emily Bunnell and Dani Bergeson led the Lady Fishermen in serve-receive. The Fishermen, 6-1 in Cowapa League play and 7-2 overall, face a critical game against Tillamook at home Tuesday in order to stay in the Cowapa championship hunt.
Nestucca 3, Knappa 0...The Bobcats got the sweep at home, defeating Knappa 25-11, 25-19, 25-19. Nestucca will battle with Portland Christian and De La Salle for top honors in the Northwest League, according to Knappa head coach Bob Harn. "The kids are starting to come together. They're starting to get a little more active." Knappa, coming off back-to-back losses to PC and Nestucca, will see the third team in the triumvirate this Saturday when they lead off a tournament at Columbia Christian with a match against De La Salle. Westside Christian, Oregon Episcopal and Blanchet are among the other competitors at that tournament in Portland this weekend.
Kalama 3, Ilwaco 0...Still seeking their first game triumph, the Lady Fishermen fell 25-22, 25-20, 25-16 Thursday night at Kalama. Erin McDonnell had eight kills and Melany Bliss put away seven kills for Ilwaco, which played without starting setter Charlotte Johnson, who missed a practice. Sophomore Teresa Goodwin filled in and kept Ilwaco competitive. "They are playing so much better," said head coach Candy Johnson, whose team heads to Raymond for a tournament on Saturday.
N.W. Christian 3, Naselle 1...A much-improved Navigators squad got the best of Naselle with a 26-24, 25-20, 14-25, 25-23 win in Lacey. "We were actually ahead numerous times," said Naselle head coach Kim Eaton. "We must made some silly mistakes at crucial times." Sylvia Herrold led Naselle with ten kills and Ashley Ahlstrom added five kills. The victory over Naselle was a first for the Navigators program. "They were very determined," said Eaton. The Comets, now 3-3, play Willapa Valley at home on Tuesday.
Tillamook 3, Seaside 1...The Cheesemakers stayed unbeaten atop the Cowapa League with a 25-12, 22-25, 25-17, 25-13 victory at home over the Seagulls. Tillamook and Astoria meet for the second time this season at Astoria on Tuesday. A win for Tillamook would likely secure a Cowapa League championship and a top seed to state. Seaside took it's first game win from one of the two teams ahead of them in the standings as the Seagulls continue to improve.
Jewell 3, Falls City 0...The Blue Jays got some precise spot-serving from Colleen Crook and strong finishes at the net by Jalina Johnston in a 25-11, 25-15, 25-3 sweep at home.
