The Lake Chelan Valley will once again be well represented at the WIAA State Volleyball Tournaments to be held this week in Yakima.
The 2-B tourney begins play on Wednesday and features a return appearance for the Manson Trojans who finished 4th at State last year. Meanwhile, the six time defending State Champion Chelan Goats will start play in the 1-A State Tournament beginning Friday. Both tournaments will be played at the Yakima SunDome.
Manson, led by first year head coach Sarah Wiggum, features a very young team and comes in as the 16th seeded team. The Trojans will face top seeded Freeman in their first Wednesday match scheduled to begin at 11:45 a.m. Manson will play a second match later on Wednesday. A victory in one or more of their contests will advance them to a second day of play on Thursday.
The Chelan Goats begin defense of their State Championship with a Friday morning match against 15th seeded Naches Valley. The Goats will once again be amongst the tourney favorites and enter play as the number two seed. The first of their two Friday contests will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Volleyball fans are reminded that LakeChelanNow will be in Yakima for the entirety of both tournaments. Join us for photos, stories, and live play-by-play coverage of all the Manson and Chelan matches.
Go Trojans and Go Goats!
