Jackson Takes Title

2010-09-26T09:27:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Jackson HS of Mill Creek for taking the 2010 Kent Classic without dropping a set all day. They overwhelmed a very tired Skyview team, 25-18, 25-12 in the final.

Skyview had the longer road to the final. They had to play in the D/E first round game where they topped a very tough Bellarmine Prep squad in three, 17-25, 25-19, 15-10. Their second round also went three against Olympia.

Jackson had the shorter road courtesy of the first round bye. They then beat Issaquah, 25-19, 25-11.

The afternoon featured outstanding volleyball on all the courts. Some of the exciting matches included Seattle Prep over Mount Si in three and Kentwood over Roosevelt and then over Monroe.

Final Pools

Are now up on the Pools page.

Updated Pools

2010-09-23T09:44:00.000-07:00

We will have updated pools up this evening. Sorry about the short notice but we have had several teams drop and have added a couple this week, so things have been in flux.

Coaches Meeting

2010-09-21T09:40:00.001-07:00

There will be a coaches meeting at each school at 7:30am.

Changes

2010-09-21T09:39:00.000-07:00

There have been a few teams that have dropped and one team that has been added. We hope to have everything finalized by Wednesday. This will require some alterations to the pools. We will try to keep all teams at the same school they were originally scheduled to play at, but this may not be possible and still keep the seedings reasonable. In that case we will notify the coach of any school that is scheduled to play at the other location.

Pools are up

2010-09-15T11:57:00.000-07:00

The pools have been posted on the pools page. Please let us know right away if we missed any intra-league matchups. We obviously try to avoid those if possible.

The pools are not necessarily in seed order. For instance, the pools with Kentlake and Kentwood were both moved around so we start at our respective school.

Seedings Out Soon

2010-09-14T12:49:00.000-07:00

Seedings and pools should be posted by Thursday. This year the upper bracket will be at Kentlake and the lower bracket at Kentwood.

We will have results posted via Twitter this year. If you want to help by tweeting your results, please contact us at "kentlakevb at comcast.net" with your cell phone number and we will set it up so you can tweet directly. You just send a text message to 40404 from an authorized cell phone and it will automatically be posted to Twitter.

Jackson Makes 30

2010-08-09T10:55:00.000-07:00

The field for the Kent Classic is now filled with Jackson High School as the 30th team. The Kentlake and Kentwood JV coaches can breath a sigh of relief.

Welcome

2010-08-02T11:17:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the home of the Kent Classic Volleyball Tournament. We will have lots of information leading up to the "Big Day" on September 25th.

We expanded the field this year from 27 to 30 and still need the 30th team. If you are looking for top quality competition against the best teams in Western Washington and beyond please drop a line to kentlakevb "at" comcast.com or kwvolleyball "at" aol.com.
