Santiam Christian Sweeps in 3A Title Match
Facing Goliath...Is an accurate analagy that comes to mind when opposing teams met Santiam Christian on the court this year. For every once in a while, a dream team comes along that is so powerful and so dominating, no one is going to conquer them. Senior leadership, extreme talent, height, depth and an immense desire to win, aspects a coach rarely finds no matter how long they coach. To quote Tayla Woods, "since 4th grade, we said we wanted to win State". That has been the goal of this mighty Eagles team for nine years, falling short last year at the tournament just made them all the more determined and eager to bring home a Championship this year. And bring it home they did, in grand fashion!

Blanchet makes history with repeat volleyball title
FOREST GROVE – Top-ranked Blanchet Catholic defeated #6 Salem Academy for the fourth time this season to win the 2009 2A volleyball championship at Pacific University. The Cavaliers followed 1A Imbler’s earlier back-to-back title. That marked the first time in OSAA history that the same schools won consecutive 2A and 1A titles the same two years.
There will be no three-peat next season as both Blanchet and Salem Academy move up to the 3A Pac West League – home to defending 3A champs Santiam Christian.

Imbler dominates 1A tournament; repeats as Champs
FOREST GROVE – For the first time since 2004-05, 1A volleyball has a back-to-back champion in Imbler, which continued its masterful dominance of 1A volleyball with convincing 25-9, 25-16, 25-15 win over Griswold (Helix) at Pacific University. If there is such a thing as fast-break volleyball, Imbler has it mastered as the Panthers seem to bury opponents so quickly, there isn’t time to respond in a game not governed by a running clock.

Sisters Wins Title!
I will check my records later but believe this to be a first. SkyEm League dominates Tournament while taking home 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Trophy's. How fitting for a conference that ended in a 3-way tie for 1st. Game time: 30 mnutes. If you're following the blog, refresh your browser every couple minutes for up to the minute game status.
Sisters Coach, Diane Bremer, in her 3rd season as Coach of the Outlaws has played in the State Championhip game all 3 years, winning the tournament in 2007, 2nd in 2008. Quite impressive to say the least. Marist Coach Shari Pimental has 2 State Championships to her name, 1998 & 1999. Her team has taken home 3rd Place in 2001, 2003 & 2004. With various other 4th-8th place finishes in the interim. It's been a decade since she's had a team in the final dance. Sisters and Marist split conference matches this season. This match will finally determine the SkyEm #1 team for 2009.
Game 1: Marist's Allie Rogers, Jenna Waldron and Tianna Cardani with 3 big swings and kills, Kaity Douglass for a Sisters kill. Hannah Harrer effective tip for Sisters. 5-3 Marist. Amanda Robert with a slam down the middle puts Marist up, 8-7. Harrer hits Marist's open backcourt, 8-8. Allie Rogers again! Cardani! Marist fans are loud and on their feet. Harrer quiets them down a little with a midde slam. Hitting error Sisters. Timeout Sisters. 13-9 Marist.

Banks vs Astoria
Conference rivals and no strangers to one anothers game stategies. This match goes down to the wire. Banks lost both season league matches to Astoria, they'd love to get even today. Banks' sophomore, MH, Abby Hardie and Astoria's Kelsie Houghhtaling trading swing for swing while both teams' defense is digging up most everything. Good volleyball action! Missed serves, good block by Thoreson and kill by Gauthier diminish Banks' 4 point lead. Sore 8-7 Banks. Huge crosscourt crush by Banks's Chelsie Bunn gives Banks a boost of confidence! Nice smack. 10-9 Banks. 2 consecutive kills by Houghtaling forces Banks to call a timeout. 11-10 Astoria. Overset by Banks but Houghtalings hit. is wide. Astoria's Olivia Israel gets the final kill of the match for Astoria, they win in 5. 15-12
Game scores:25-23, 21-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-12

Imbler, Helix set for 1A title rematch from 2008
FOREST GROVE – Defending champion Imbler will face Helix for the second straight year in the 1A volleyball championship Saturday night. The two finalists from last season took vastly different paths to reach the final as the Panthers made short work of Crane, while the Grizzlies had their hands full all night with Hosanna Christian from Klamath Falls.
In the end, 1A fans will see a repeat of the 2008 finals match, which surprised few observers of these two 1A powerhouses.
