The girls varsity volleyball team started off their first round of NCS with a win against Ukiah High School. The girls managed to grab a victory after three games. The first game started off nearly effortlessly with a final score of 25 to 13. Ukiah then managed to make the crowd antsy by giving the Huskies a run for their points. With final scores 25 to 19 in game two, and a close 25 to 21 win in the third game, the Huskies showed Ukiah how fierce the dog house is. Senior Jenelle Serex, proud of her teammates, said, “We did good and came out onto the court ready to fight with a lot of energy”. The bleachers were filled with fellow Huskies cheering the volleyball team on. Many went wild for Senior Konami Yokoyama as she amazed them with her gym shaking kills. First time attendee, Senior Shriharsha Rao, had mixed feelings by the end of the game. “It was a great game! They scraped out there but I can’t believe I paid $6 to watch the Huskies win in only three games”. After dominating the gym at home, the team will now move on to their next opponent, Redwood High School, in Marin this Saturday.

After first round of league play, the girls volleyball team looked unbeatable.
They played well as a team and defeated Mission San Jose in three games, placing them first in league. However, while on their way to league title with a 10-2 record, the girls were defeated by James Logan, resulting in a tie with Mission San Jose. A tie-breaker for league title took place Oct. 30 against Mission San Jose, but was played on neutral grounds–Kennedy High School. That way, neither team could have home court advantage. The Huskies lost, 0-3, making them league co-champions with Mission San Jose.
Home court would have definitely helped the lady Huskies considering they were 8-0 at home and 4-3 on the road.
Without the “Argus player of the week,” junior Konami Yokoyama, in the lineup, the lady Huskies struggled and lost to Irvington High School, ending their 2009 season.
However, the North Coast Section (NCS) committee held a meeting Nov. 8 about extending the amount of teams entering in the playoffs this year, and the Huskies got lucky.
The first game, round one of NCS playoffs, will be held Nov. 11 against James Logan at home.
With Yokoyama back on the court, with 193 kills season kills and senior Cody Bates’ season average of 139 digs, the Huskies will be well off.
