Well- “We had a great time,” said coach Brooke Todd of the 14 White BT team. The girls went to Spokane on a mission… They accomplished some goals and left a couple unfinished. They came to win and win they did, but not the entire Pacific Northwest Qualifier. Overall, Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT left with a winning record and even played some great games, close games in the process. They had their ups and downs, but overall, they had lots of fun and the team bonded better than ever. The team played some awesome teams and scared some folks in the process, not to mention, taking the 2nd overall seeded team to three, in front of a stunned crowd of hundreds, on the first day. The team, a local favorite, University Place Volleyball Club of Steilacoon, WA, who went on to win the entire tournament, had not seen a serve-receive so receptive to their serves in some time, said assistant coach Keith Slade. The entire gang had some great times eating out as a team and celebrating some birthdays while the parents bonded as well. And- Even got to watch the UH game on TV that was taking place right down the road. On Sunday, some of the girls took advantage of the free time and trekked into the mountains for some tubing in the snow. One of the most memorable moments of the trip was when the girls and coach donned their homemade Dig Pink T-shirts they made especially for the trip in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. Coach Todd, said, “I was very impressed with the overall participation regarding the event as my sister is a survivor and so is Kelly Harris, one of our moms ." "Now we take the experience and use it to our advantage to help grow the girls even more for the rest of the year," said Brooke.
