Volleyball
Southridge finished second at the Kent-Meridian Tournament, losing to Shadle Park in the championship match in Kent.
The Highlanders topped the Suns 25-22, 25-21.
“They are a good team,” Southridge coach John Lengphounpraseut said of Shadle Park. “I liked what I saw against them. Our serve receive was questionable against Pasco (on Thursday). It was much improved today. I changed the lineup a bit and I think we’ll be OK. We just need to be more consistent.”
With Shadle Park being a team the Mid-Columbia Conference could see at regionals, Lengphounpraseut said it was good to see what they had coming back.
Riley Hebdon finished the day with 37 kills and 32 digs, while Lauren Beck added 26 kills and 10 service aces for the Suns.
