Willapa Valley 3, Ocosta 1
Willapa Valley gave its Senior Night crowd a thrill with a 3-1 victory over Ocosta on Monday in Menlo.
The Vikings (12-4 overall, 9-3 1B Coastal) won by scores of 25-6, 22-25, 25-22 and 25-13 to beat the Wildcats (5-12, 5-6) for the second time this season in 1B Coastal League play.
Valley was led by senior setter Lauren Matlock, who had 38 assists, and sophomore middle blocker Tylar Keeton, who buried a game high 20 kills to go along with three blocks.
Vikings senior middle blocker Paislee Hurley added 10 kills and two blocks for Valley.
“There’s always some emotions on senior night, we’re graduating 13 this year and we felt a lot of support from the community for them,” Valley head coach Chelsea Kempton said. “I thought we started the match fast and we expected Ocosta to push back and they did. I was proud of the way we refocused in the third and fourth set. As a team we served well and were smart about placing the ball. The girls hustled and played hard tonight and I’m happy they could get a win on senior night.”
Ocosta was led by sophomore Bella Pratt (6 kills, 4 aces, 28 digs) and senior defensive specialist Shae-Lynn Thurston (38 digs).
“We had a difficult time getting our serve-receive going in Set 1, however, after making a few adjustments, we came out on fire in Set 2, winning it 25-22,” Ocosta head coach Erin Snider said. “We couldn’t find a consistent rhythm tonight.”
Valley sits in second place in the 1B Coastal League, a half-game ahead of Taholah, while the Wildcats are in fourth place.
Ocosta takes on Taholah at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Taholah High School.

Raymond-South Bend 3, Ilwaco 0
Raymond-South Bend remained unbeaten in the 2B Pacific League with a straight-set win over Ilwaco on Monday in South Bend.
The Ravens (11-4, 6-0 2B Pacific) defeated the Fishermen (3-8, 1-5) by scores of 25-13, 25-13 and 25-16, thanks in large part to a 93% service rate (67-72) and solid games from senior middle blocker Kassie Koski (10 kills, 9 digs, 14-15 service) and Ava Baugher (11 digs, 7 kills, 17-18 service, 6 aces).
“It was a good way to start the week,” RSB head coach Julie Jewell said. “We started a little slow. I think we were behind 5-1 at the beginning of Game 1 before things started clicking for us. We were in control the rest of the game.”
RSB sits a half-game ahead of Forks in the 2B Pacific League.
The two teams will meet in a key league matchup at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Raymond High School.
Ilwaco 13 13 16 – 0
