WEED – Tulelake’s Lexie Greenbank was ripping aces, and hammering kill shots on the opening night of high school volleyball in Siskiyou County, as the Lady Honkers swept the Weed Lady Cougars, 3-0 (25-12, 25-13, 25-23).

Tulelake took command of the match right from the opening of the first set. A kill by Madee Boyd put the Lady Honkers up 1-0. With the score 3-1 in favor of Tulelake, Greenbank rotated to server. By the time she was done, the Lady Honkers had rattled off eight service points, including six Greenbank aces. The score was 11-1.

Late in the first set, another Greenbank ace brought the Lady Honkers to the brink of victory, 24-11. Weed’s Osa Traylor put the celebration temporarily on ice with a block. However, Boyd nailed a kill shot to secure the set-one win, 25-12.

Tulelake led 2-1 on an ace and a kill by Gabby Rascon in the second set, when Geenbank took the serve. In a near replay of the first set, the Lady Honkers scored nine straight points with Greenbank behind the line. Michelle Rupert hammered a kill. Then, Greenbank accounted for seven of the next eight points, with a kill and six aces.

Down 24-11, Weed scored two in a row with Jeni Cheffey serving, including an ace. Rupert ended the second set with a block, giving Tulelake the 25-13 win. (more…)

WEED – The Weed Cougars and Etna Lions will go at it tooth and nail again later in the season, but for now, the Lions have top cat bragging rights in Siskiyou County. Etna downed Weed 40-26 on opening night of the 2010 high school football season on Friday.

The two teams were picked in a preseason coaches’ poll to finish in the bottom half of the Shasta Cascade League this season. However, both squads served notice that they can put up points in a hurry, and won’t be anyone’s doormat. (more…)

WEED – The Etna Lion junior varsity’s defense came up with a game-winning safety with 3:19 to play, snatching a 2-0 win over the Weed Cougars on Friday night to open the football season. Both teams showed flashes of offensive ability during the game, but it was defense that ruled for the most part.

Early in the fourth quarter, Weed was in a punting situation, when Lion Preston Munson came to his coaches and asked to be put in the game.

“I can block the punt,” Munson said.

The Etna staff sent Munson into the game. True to his word, Munson broke through the line and blocked the kick. Weed recovered the ball, but Etna took over on the Cougar 14-yard-line on downs. (more…)
