Six seems to be the Mount Si varsity volleyball team’s number.

For the third year in a row, the Wildcats under coach Bonnie Foote have claimed the sixth-place spot in the state.

Strong team play under award-winning coaches and players have taken the team up against the toughest competition in Washington. Playing at Lacey, Mount Si fell Friday night, Nov. 11, in four games to Mount Spokane during the quarterfinals, 25-19, 25-23, 21-25, 25-15.

Later that evening, Mount Si beat Camas, 18-25, 25-22, 25-16, 25-18, to move ahead, then fell to Prairie, 25-21, 25-23, 25-20.

The Mount Si team this year included a number of all-league selections, including KingCo MVP Sarah McDonald, first-team players Lyndsay Carr and Lauren Smith, second-team selections Rachel Hayford and Krista Galloway, and honorable mentions Lexie Read and Kailey Capelouto. Foote three-peated as coach of the year.
