Four All-League players lead Brewster varsity volleyball squad

BREWSTER – The Lady Bears varsity volleyball team will be shooting for more post-season play this year on the heels of last year’s elimination in the quarterfinal round against Kalama at the SunDome in Yakima.
Brewster took a long league winning streak to Yakima, holding opponents scoreless through 42 consecutive sets in the regular season and into District play.

Last year’s League and Bi-District 5/6 champion team landed six players on the Central Washington 2B All-League Team and two of those, Maret Miller and Marta Martinez graduated last June. The remaining four, senior Elizabeth Stam, and juniors Karste Wright, Brooklynne Boesel and Sammi Emigh returned to the squad this season.

After losing five seniors from last year’s squad, head coach Marcy Boesel moved seven players up from the JV ranks to this season’s varsity. They are sophomores Megan Heller, Anah Wulf, and Emerson Webster, and juniors Joanna Espinoza, Emily Esquivel, Ashley Esquivel, and Josefine Martinez. With Stam as the only senior on this year’s team the Lady Bears have a strong and young group of players to carry through the next two seasons.
Brewster opened its regular league season at Bridgeport on Sept. 6 and took up where it left off by shutting out the Fillies, 3-0.

The Lady Bears were scheduled to play non-league Chelan of the 1A Caribou Trail League on the road last Tuesday, Sept. 11. Then it’s on to league opponent Oroville on Thursday, Sept. 13, before hosting Almira-Coulee-Hartline at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, for a non-league game.

Brewster’s other CWB opponents this season include Tonasket, Waterville-Mansfield, Manson, Liberty Bell, Lake Roosevelt, and Soap Lake.
