This Week In Sports....

Don't have any really decent pictures to show this week in sports so words will have to do!

Tuesday: Volleyball Jamboree in Ki-Be. Ki-Be hosted, Connell, Mabton and Goldendale were the teams. Each team played each other best of 3. Connell came home with the First Place placque, Goldendale the Second Place placque. Connell played Ki-Be first, winning the first 2 easily. They played Mabton next, winning in 2 easily. The played Goldendale only 2 times, splitting with them. It was still enough to place first. They looked G-R-E-A-T!!! It is going to be an exciting season!!

Thursday: Connell Soccer Varsity girls lost to Othello, 0-1. It was a good game however. Marie made Varsity so it is going to be a fun season to watch. They aren't as quick or as aggressive as last years' team, but it is the beginning of the season, and they are a young team. Go Lady Eagles! Varsity Volleyball ROCKED!! They played Othello and swept them in 3. They looked AWESOME!! I am so excited for this season. Keep it up ladies!!

Friday: Chelan Goats came to town only to be headed back to Chelan once again, defeated by the Eagles! The final score was 35-7. Chelan has a good team and they had a couple of chances to put more on the board. It was well fought until the final blow of the whistle. Go Eagles!

Saturday: The Columbia Basin football team did much better this weekend than with their opener against Snow College a couple of weekends ago. They beat the Yakima team 21-0. There were a lot of penalties and plays called back, but it is early and they will get use to playing together more and more. Briar had a good game. He blocked a punt, broke up several pass plays and almost had an interception early in the game. I think he will have a fun year. Scott did great on the line and both Sean and Shane had a good game also. It is weird to see these boys in Blue and White instead of Purple and Gold! Go Hawks!!
