West Sound teams will be on the volleyball court starting Thursday as they vie for berths to the state tournaments.

Among them is the ninth-ranked team in the state, North Kitsap. The Vikings earned a first round bye in the Class 2A West Central District tournament and face the winner of the River Ridge/Washington match. The tourney is at Franklin Pierce and begins Friday. NK’s match is at 7 p.m. A win, and NK plays in the semifinals at 5:15 p.m. Saturday. The district finals is at 7 p.m.

Kingston takes on Franklin Pierce at 5:15 p.m. Friday and Olympic plays Orting at the same time. If Kingston and Olympic win they will play at 8:30 p.m. in the quarterfinals. Losses in the first round for both teams means they face loser-out matches at 1:45 p.m. Saturday. There are six berths available.

The SeaKing District 3A tourney begins Thursday as Bainbridge takes on Redmond at Lakeside HS at 5:30 p.m. That is a loser-out match. If Bainbridge wins, the Spartans play Lakeside in the quarterfinals ta 7:30 p.m. The SeaKing has seven berths to state.

In the 3A WCD/Southwest tourney, Central Kitsap plays at 3:30 p.m. Friday against Kelso at Yelm HS. If the Cougars win, they play at 9 a.m. Saturday. A loss, and its a loser-out game at 7:30 p.m. Friday against the loser of the North Thurston/Bethel match.

Crosspoint Academy already secured its spot to the Bi-District 2B tournament this week. The Warriors, as the No. 1 seed out of District 2, faces the winner of  Friday Harbor/Darrington match at 11 a.m. That tourney is Nov. 5 at Stanwood HS.

Like Crosspoint, the Klahowya Eagles have been waiting to open the 1A WCD tournament. The Eagles are the No. 2 from the Olympic League 1A. Klahowya hosts Seattle Christian (6-8) at 6 p.m. Thursday in a loser-out match.

Central Kitsap’s Katie Downey and Sumer McDermed were named to the All-South Sound Conference teams on Tuesday.

Downey, a senior setter, was selected to the first team while McDermed, a senior libero, was named to the second team.

Here is the All-SSC in its entirety;

I knew the dance was coming, I just didn’t know who was going — until now.

West Sound volleyball teams have finally settled on who is headed to the playoffs and now the real fun begins.

Here’s a look at who is playing on Saturday and what’s at stake for each team;

South Kitsap: In the South Puget Sound League 4A, the Wolves (6-9) are in a loser-out match against Graham-Kapowsin (6-9) at 9 a.m. at Sumner High. If South wins, it will play a fifth/sixth seeding game at 5 p.m. against the winner of the Sumner/Olympia match. The West Central District tournament begins Nov. 4 at Kentwood High School.

Central Kitsap: The Cougars (5-9) open the South Sound Conference 3A tournament against North Thurston (9-5) at 9 a.m. at Capital High School. Timberline (10-4) takes on Shelton (4-10) in the other 9 a.m. game while Gig Harbor (14-1) and Capital (11-3) earned first-round byes. The 11 a.m. matches will pit the lowest-remaining seed against Gig Harbor while Capital will take on the highest-remaining seed. The losers of the 9 a.m. matches play for fifth/sixth seed at 1 p.m. Losers of the 11 a.m. matches play for third/fourth seed at 1 p.m., and the winners of the 11 a.m. matches play at 3 p.m.

Yes, I know that sounds confusing, but for CK fans know that your team plays at 9 a.m. and then possibly at 11 a.m. (if they win) and at 1 p.m. (if they lose the 9 a.m. match). The Cougars are only playing for seeding into the West Central/Southwest District tournament, Nov. 4-5 at Yelm High School.

Bainbridge: The Spartans (9-8) lost to Roosevelt Thursday in the Metro League 3A tournament, 3-2, but are already assured of a SeaKing District berth Nov. 3-5 at Juanita and Lakeside High Schools. Bainbridge plays Ballard at 1 p.m. at Chief Sealth HS. A win and Bainbridge would play at 3 p.m. for fifth/sixth. A loss and they would play for the seventh/eighth seed at 5 p.m.

Olympic League 2A: The Kingston Buccaneers (8-8) face Sequim (12-2) at 9 a.m. A win for Kingston and it will play the winner of the North Kitsap/Olympic match at 3 p.m for first/second seed. A loss and the Bucs play at 1 p.m. for third/fourth seed. The NK Vikings (13-1) are the OL2A champs, again, and play Olympic (7-9) at 11 a.m. The loser of that match plays at 1 p.m. against the loser of the Sequim/Kingston match for third/fourth seed. The winners play at 3 p.m. for first/second. The tournament is at North Kitsap HS.

Klahowya: The Eagles (7-7) have already secured their seeding into the West Central District 1A tourney as the No. 2 from the Olympic League 1A. Klahowya hosts Seattle Christian (6-8) at 6 p.m. next Thursday in a loser-out match.

Crosspoint Academy: The Warriors (7-7) have also secured their spot to the Bi-District 2B tournament next week. Crosspoint, as the No. 1 seed out of District 2, faces the winner of the Friday Harbor/Darrington match at 11 a.m. That tourney is Nov. 5 at Stanwood HS.

North Kitsap remained among the top 10 volleyball teams last week.

NK sits at No. 8 in the Washington State  coaches Association volleyball poll.

Here are the rankings for the different classifications;

North Kitsap returned to the Washington State Coaches Association volleyball poll this week.

The Vikings are ranked No. 8 in Class 2A.

Here are the rankings for Week 3;

Class 4A—1, Auburn Riverside. 2, Tahoma. 3, Mead. 4, West Valley. 5, Bellarmine Prep. 6, Curtis. 7, Puyallup. 8, Kennedy Catholic. 9, Auburn-Mountainview. 10, Kentwood.

Class 3A—1, Ferndale. 2, Mercer Island. 3, Eastside Catholic. 4, Bellevue. 5, Bonney Lake. 6, Mount Spokane. 7, Capital. 8, Prairie. 9, Shadle Park. 10, Gig Harbor.

Class 2A—1, Tumwater. 2, Archbishop Murphy. 3, Ridgefield. 4, Columbia River. 5, Selah. 6, White River. 7, Steilacoom. 8, North Kitsap. 9, Burlington Edison. 10, Lakewood.

Class 1A—1, Cascade. 2, Lynden Christian. 3, King’s. 4, Cedar Park Christian. 5, Lakeside Nine Mile Falls. 6, Freeman. 7, LaCenter. 8, Naches Valley. 9, Charles Wright. 10, Granger.

Class 2B—1, Colfax. 2, Kalama. 3, LaConner. 4, Life Christian. 5, Liberty. 6, Napavine. 7, Toutle Lake. 8, Wilbur-Creston. 9, Davenport. 10, Mossyrock.

Just when North Kitsap received some good news with the return of Olivia Selembo (concussion), the eighth-ranked Vikings found out they will be without senior Caitlyn Kyser for the rest of the volleyball season.

Kyser, a right-side hitter, came down on another players’ ankle during a match last Thursday and left with what was thought was an ankle sprain. Turns out it was a fracture, said NK coach Tim French.

“She’s done. Other players have to step up now,” he said.

French said Kyser, who is in a hard cast, will remain part of the team in some way whether it’s helping in practice, cheering at the game or singing the national anthem.

“They’re always part of the team,” he said.
