WAITSBURG - WP's Lady Cards opened their season by taking fourth place in a seven-team, home-hosted tournament on Saturday. The Touchet Indians placed first, followed by De- Sales in second and Lacrosse-Washtucna Kahlotus (LWK) in third. Mabton, Colfax and Wa-Hi's JV team also participated.
Samantha Fedderson led WP with 23 kills and 26 digs; she served 23/32 with four aces. Paige Wood followed in close second with 22 kills, 24 digs, and 18/23 service with five aces. Kassidy Kuykendall made 24 assists, 9 digs, 3 kills and served 21/27 with 2 aces. Top server for the night was Jaidyn Brown who served 44/50 with 18 aces.
"Overall, I'm really happy with how we started and how things are looking early in the season," said coach Angie Potts. "We started to break down as we got tired so we'll need to towkr on conditioning in order to be able to finish strong. We also have a few areas to work on with our coverage and communication. But I'm excited for the rest of this season and pushing the girls to accomplish their goals."
The Cardinals have a busy week of away games playing a league game against Asotin on Tuesday, Spangle on Thursday, and Heppner on Friday. They'll play a league game against Walla Walla Valley Academy on the 30th before their next home game, a league competition game against Tri-Cities Prep on Oct. 2.
