Athena Volleyball

14 Beta started the Cowlitz Tournament with both middle blockers out sick and only 7 players!! Running a new offense, a 6-2, was also an hurdle we would face head on. These setbacks were not going to discourage the players we had, and two of our outside hitters stepped up to play middle for the [...]

This past PL was a huge success for the 14Alpha Black team.  Finishing 3rd meant the girls stayed in the Bronze division with another chance to move to Silver next month.  Taking second in pool play with a loss to OJVA, the girls were on fire.  Natalia Perry passed an amazing 2.5 while Kate Huckey [...]

Athena’s 12 beta team made the trek up to RA Long High School – home of the Lumberjacks and, yes, the Lumberjills – in Longview, WA on Sunday for an 8-team friendship tournament.  It was a great opportunity for our team to compete against other teams at various skill levels, some of which don’t play [...]

Colorado ain’t got nothing on Athena 14Alpha Black!  Thrown into a pool of teams from all over the country – Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico, these girls stepped out and played amazing volleyball. The first day was led by middles Sarah Lewis, Natalia Perry and Morgan McMasters with blocks and kills.  Morgan Bolger and Emily [...]

Serving.  Serving serving serves serving and serving.  Serving, with some serves and serving.  Tough serving.  Smart serving. Serving serving.  Some serve receive, but mostly serving. There is serving just to serve, and there is serving to win.  Athena 13 Alpha serves to win. The Athena 13 Alpha team continues to triumph over adversity, as the [...]

Athena’s 12 Beta team was in Salem last weekend to play in a friendship tournament at the Salem Hoop.  The caliber of play was tremendous as there were numerous CEVA gold division teams participating.  We started pool play with an impressive 2-1 victory over Trails End behind some excellent serving and all-around solid play.  Our [...]

This past Sunday the 12 Alpha team put up a super fight to stay in the gold division but unfortunately fell down to Silver.  We first played a very tough PVC Pink team that showed our girls what it means to serve tough!  Next, we beat OJVA for the first time this season which was [...]

Wow! Wow! Wow!  What a great day after a long recovery from our Denver trip.  It seemed we just stepped off of the plane from Denver and here we were again competing in Power League.  Our first match of the day was a very slow start for us against Rimrock, who we had yet to [...]

14 White had a great lesson in overcoming adversity at this weekend’s Power League tournament. Starting out the day down two players and one coach was tough enough until our setter, who had been working on running a 5-1 offense, suddenly had to be taken out of the game. A backup setter had to step [...]

Athena 16s Gold worked their hardest to maintain their gold level play! The competition was TOUGH and the girls stepped up at crucial times to find ways to succeed! Throughout the past three weeks we spent a lot of time working on blocking and taking BIG swings at balls, and the girls did JUST THAT [...]
