“We started off slow in the morning, but then I thought we improved as the day went on,” said Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel. “With only nine players, we ran out of some steam by the end of the day. It was a good experience for the girls and we got a lot of volleyball in.”
Jessica Hockema had 34 kills and nine blocks during the day. Kara Young had 32 kills, 45 digs and nine aces; Natalie Caffey had 21 kills, 11 aces and eight blocks; Brittney Young had 70 digs; and Katelyn Richmond had 84 assists.

“I was pleased that we competed well against most of the competition,” North Bend coach Les Willett said. “I felt we were in every set and match. We struggled a little bit with our serving, but played very good defense at times. I think it was a good early season tournament to help us get ready for league.”
Alexandra Mateski led the Bulldogs with 36 kills, 22 digs and four blocks during the day. Haley Dunham had 14 kills, nine digs, four blocks and four aces; Katie Banta had eight kills, 14 digs, five blocks and 60 assists; Blair Davis had nine kills, including five against North Medford, and 11 blocks; Ashley Horlacher had 58 digs; and Camille Deming was the team’s top server.
