After last weekend’s tournament in Craig, the Wrangell High School volleyball team is in a three-way tie for second place for the season. Craig High School holds first place currently, with Wrangell competing with Petersburg and Klawock.
During the tournament, Wrangell won games against teams from Haines, Metlakatla, Petersburg, and Skagway. They lost against teams from Craig and Klawock, however.
Coach Jessica Whitaker pointed out senior player Ashley Allen for how well she played in the Craig tournament.
“We did well with only three days of practice,” she said.
Whitaker added that she is hopeful her team can come out on top in the three-way tie for second place. The tie will be broken during the second seeding tournament in Petersburg, during the first week of November. Before that Wrangell will be hosting home games on Oct. 26 and 27. Whitaker said that the extra practice at home will really help the team get stronger.
“We only have room to improve,” she said. “We just need to clean up some net plays and we’ll be dialed in.”
