CHS coach Cory Whitmore plots strategy.
Three teams, one gym, one ticket to state.
Three-time defending 2B state champ La Conner hosts this year’s District 1/2 volleyball tournament, kicking off the final run of coach Suzanne Marble’s 30-year career.
The event is set for Wednesday, Nov. 2 with Coupeville and Northwest Christian of Lacey attempting to play spoiler, while knowing next season our region gets two slots at the state tournament.
This time around, though, there’s just one berth at stake, making a potential path to success much more dangerous.
The set-up is simple — Coupeville and Northwest Christian play at 5 PM in a loser-out match, with the winner advancing to spar with La Conner at approximately 6:45 for a trip to state.
