State-bound and unbeaten Kentridge dispatched four opponents en route to capturing the West Central District volleyball tournament at Kentlake High School on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Chargers (22-0) defeated Olympia in four games – 25-17, 17-25, 25-23, 25-15 – to take the district crown and build momentum into this Friday’s state 4A tournament opener against Kennedy Catholic at the Yakima Valley SunDome. Match time is 8 a.m.<\/p>\n

Kentridge swept the Lancers in a North Puget Sound League Cascade Division match on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n

It is the Chargers’ first trip to state in 17 years. Kentridge is the class 4A’s top-ranked team in the MaxPreps’ Xcellent 25 Writers’ Poll.<\/p>\n

Kentridge received solid all-around play from Zaiah Calvin, the NPSL Cascade Most Valuable Player, first-team all-league players Kate Wick and Austin Ibale and Madeline Gooding and Nellie Escandon, who made the second team.<\/p>\n

At district, the Chargers downed Puyallup in the semifinals earlier Saturday. Game scores were 25-20, 22-25, 25-10, 25-21.<\/p>\n
