Serving Whitman County since 1877
Serving Whitman County since 1877
Early November, nearing the second week and Christmas stuff glares in store windows.
Have they no respect for what season it really is? District volleyball playoffs – with the 1B/2B state high school tournament in Yakima seven days away.
The Southeast 1B league’s no. 1-seed Pomeroy was set to host no. 4 St. John/Endicott/LaCrosse Wednesday night at 6 p.m. No. 2-seed Oakesdale hosted no. 3 Colton, also Wednesday night.
On Saturday, Nov. 9, because Pomeroy drew a higher number at a September athletic director’s meeting – and thus took the top seed in the eventual Southeast 1B regular season tie with Oakesdale – the Pirates host the district finals.
To begin Saturday, the winners from Wednesday will play for the District Nine championship. The double-elimination tournament continues in Pomeroy to decide the last local entry to the SunDome.
The state 1B/2B tournament begins Nov. 14.
