District Finals in Lonview


The Girls Varsity Volleyball AA District 4 Finals were decided on Saturday in Longview. It was exciting!

Lighting in the RA Long HS gym was challenging, the ceiling is low and electrical outlets were hard to find. I don't mind a challenge though and I think I got some exellent images. :-)

The 11am match between Tumwater High and Black Hills decided who would get a 2 hour break and move to the championship match at 3pm and who would have to play from 1 to 3 for the right to via for 3rd or 4th at 3pm. Only the top 4 teams move on to State next weekend in Yakima. I'd head over there if I didn't have a wedding to shoot. :-)







Black hills won that first match and took a break. Tumwater went right over to the other gym and played the Woodland Beavers. They won in 4 games, guaranteeing either a 3rd of 4th place finish and the right to compete at State. Turns out they won their final match and took 3rd overall. Good job!!!





And this is my favorite shot of the day, the other team's facial reaction to this crushing spike is priceless:



The final match started at 3pm. The RA Long Lumber Jills vs the Black Hills Wolves. The Wolves took an early two game lead, but it wasn't over.



RA Long came back from being down 2 games to 0 to winning 3 games to 2. They were very happy about it.













Congratulation to all the teams! And good luck at State!!!
