Lakeside earns another trip to state

GRANGEVILLE - Lakeside qualified for the state 1A Division I volleyball tournament for the third time in four years by beating Greenleaf Friends 17-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-21 in a play-in match Saturday.

Ruth Haynes had 11 kills, Avery Brown-Sonder 10 kills for Lakeside (13-7). Maria Garcia had 29 digs, and Holly Stockdale and Kim Hall had five blocks each.

"We really moved well, and just started playing our game; we were not in the groove that first game," Lakeside coach Jan Mitchell said. "We just started playing like a team ... and started playing at our level."

State begins Friday at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston. Lakeside opens vs. Challis at 1 p.m.
