The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG-The Waitsburg High School volleyball coaches were happy with the team's performance after playing Prescott, Touchet, and McLoughlin High Schools this week. The Cardinals traveled to Prescott on September 12 and lost in four sets: 13-25, 3-25, 25-19, and 15-25. The score does not show the growth the players displayed on the court.

"The team played hard tonight and started to communicate better as a team," said Coach Tracy Barron. Barron added that Makenzie Castillo brought unmatched energy to the floor that helped the whole team.

 The Cardinal volleyball team got their first win of the season at Touchet on September 14, winning in three sets: 25-9, 25-14, 25-16.

The three seniors, Makenna Barron, Peyton Struckmeier, and Kylee Henry, led the team by serving aces and spiking kills against the Redhawks.
