Volleyball team going to regionals in second place

The Lady Wolves, Wrangell's high school volleyball team, competed in their second seeding tournament last weekend in Petersburg. Wrangell was tied for second place in their region with Petersburg and Klawock after the first seeding tournament earlier in the season. After this weekend, however, Coach Jessica Whitaker said that they have secured second place for their region, behind Craig High School, and will be going into regionals at that rank.

Wrangell played against six other schools in the Petersburg tournament. The Lady Wolves were able to go undefeated against teams from Skagway, Haines, Klawock, and Metlakatla. They lost to Craig High School in the best-of-three games, however. They also took a victory against Petersburg High School, though this match was hard-fought and went to five games.

Wrangell will host Petersburg for home games this weekend, on Nov. 9 and 10. The regional tournament will take place afterwards from Nov. 15 to 17.
