From the Sidelines

Observations on Vashon Island sports, mostly the Pirates, from the sidelines.

Good luck to the volleyball team

We finally got the volleyball picture in focus. The Pirates play at Cascade Christian at 5:15 p.m. today, a makeup for the game that was postponed two weeks ago when the lights went out at the Puyallup school.

If  the Pirates beat the Cougars they then play Orting at 7 p.m., at Cascade, to decide who goes to Port Townsend tomorrow for the pigtail into sub-districts.

Good luck to the Pirates.
