Sports Story




Sandpoint volleyball girls are now preparing for state after their victory at districts last Saturday. Taking place in Sandpoint High School’s gym, Sandpoint dominated their two games against Moscow at the tri-match along with Lakeland. 

Coach Alsager shared that “the girls were excited to ‘cinch’ the play into state.” The team is continuing to practice and prepare for the state competition coming this Friday. Alsager has been challenging her team through advancing the plays, and extending the hours of practice in order to full prepare her players for a victory. 

“The teams at state are completely way better than Moscow, so we will have to play our very best and play as a team to place,” Coach Alsager said. 

Some of the scores at the matches for districts, 25-12, make Sandpoint out to be a large competitor for State. However, the team continues with their practices in order to meet the challenge of state. Just last year, Sandpoint was presented with the opportunity to compete at state after winning districts, and is now hoping to bring back the banner this time round.

“I am super excited for another shot at state this year, I think this would be the year to take home the state title and send our seniors with that legacy,” Taylor Martin, a junior player, said. 

The season is ending with four seniors, each desiring success. They also, recently, had their senior night where many spoke of their love for the game, as well as, regardless of the year’s outcome, they were happy to be have been part of such an amazing team. 

Come support the Bulldogs as they fight for the state title this Friday in Lake City. Sandpoint girls will be having their first game begins at 8. So, please come support those Bulldogs!
