Brandon Cousins “Brandon is one of my top students in math class,” says math teacher Bill Stromberger. “His papers are always top quality. He has the best pen-manship I have seen in some time! Keep up the good work!” His parents are Bruce and Mary Jo Cousins.

Honors English instructor An-gela Adams praised this senior for her “great effort in class! She is always willing to help other students when asked and she really contributes a positive energy!”

Chelsea Huffman

and David Boyd-Foley

Their teacher, Cindie Webb, says “these students always laugh. They make us smile and are full of hugs. They love being stu-dents at DHS.” Chelsea is the daughter of Jennifer Huffman; David is the son of Gina Boyd.

Written Language instructor Mrs. Dennis says this fresh-man “is such a hard worker. He comes in every day ready to work. I don’t have to ask him twice to get going. He’s such a joy to have in class.” He’s the son of Ben Yow and the grandson of Diana Yow.

Katie Vesneske, a member of Davenport High School’s Class of 2010, has committed to play vol-leyball at Walla Walla Community College next fall.

She said she felt players there “were serious about volleyball and their studies” and that the school’s size and classroom size are “desir-able.”

“Katie is the type of player that every coach wants in their program. She is a hard worker and proven leader,” commented WWCC vol-leyball coach Tim Toon. “She works just as hard in the classroom as she does on the volleyball court. Katie’s dedication to the sport is also reflected in the sacrifices she has made to play club volleyball for so many years.”

Toon said Vesneske also was considering Northwest Nazarene College, Spokane Falls Community College and the University of Wash-ington as potential spots to land after she graduates.

Walla Walla has been one of the top teams in Washington and Oregon over the past 10 years, with three east-region titles and a conference

championship during the past six.Vesneske, a 5-11 outside hitter,

has five years of club volleyball ex-perience and has played three years on the DHS varsity, twice named as most improved player and twice recipient of sportsmanship awards at the state 2B tournament.

She has been named to the Bi-County All-Opponent team and all-state team, has received numerous “Athlete of the Week” recognitions and is also an accomplished track and basketball athlete.

During her DHS career, the Go-rilla volleyball team qualified for state twice and picked up a sixth place award as its best finish during that period.

Vesneske, who plans to enroll at WWCC as a pre-pharmacy major, also maintains a 3.8 grade point average, is on the honor roll and a member of the school’s National Honor Society chapter, which she serves as reporter-historian, and also is FBLA president.

She is the third generation to at-tend the Walla Walla school, which counts among its alumni Katie’s grandmother and mother.

Davenport volleyball standouts Kenzie Graber and Katie Vesneske have been selected to the Senior All-State volleyball team.

The 24th annual event is sched-uled for March 12-13.

Originally an east-west com-petition, the three-match series now involves six teams from the A/B, 2A/3A and 4A classifications, 68 athletes (all seniors and first-

team all-league selections) and 12 coaches.

Selected players have made ap-plication and been recommended by their head coaches. Each is asked to supply $100 towards the $12,000 it costs to have the event, which is not sponsored by WIAA.

Next month’s itinerary is posted online at eteamz.com/allstatevol-leyball.

In the back are assistant coach Corey Sampson, Ryan Bodeau, Ted Mayer, Ethan Young, Kane Briggs, Luke Klein and head coach Pat Bodeau; in front are Brandon Cousins, Grant Wagner, Ty Huntwork, Tommy Kim and Ji Hoon Jung.

EDWALL – Christian Heritage finished third in the boys’ division and fifth in the girls’ at the Mountain Christian League tournament in Spo-kane Valley earlier this month.

The Patriot boys’ finish matched their No. 3 seeding into the com-petition from the regular season. They were 2-1 in tournament play, defeating Grace Bible 75-51, losing to The Oaks Academy 58-49, and overcoming Christian Center School 58-54 in what was described by CHS athletic director Karl Moldrem as “a very close and intense game.”

Ethan Young and Luke Klein, both juniors, were named to the boys’ first and second honor teams, respectively, while eighth grader Nina Klein was picked for the girls’ first team. This was the first time an eighth grade athlete has received the honor in the MCL’s 11-year history.

Curlew ended Sprague-Har-rington’s girls’ basketball season Wednesday of last week at the Dis-trict 1B tournament in Deer Park.

Despite the misfortune, Falcon head coach Matt Henry said the season “went very well; we changed our identity to be more successful, not only this season but for years to come.”

Curlew used a compact 2-3 de-fense and got S-H in foul trouble early in the game. “We didn’t hit enough outside shots to make them come out and guard us,” Henry re-called. “With three starters out for the majority of the second and third quarters, Curlew attacked the inside of our defense and rebounded very well.”

The final score was 49-33.Reflecting on the past season,

Henry said he was “very thankful for the excellent senior leadership. Kayla Eagleson and Brandi Sweet did a great job of leading by example, not complaining about their roles, and doing anything and everything they could to get the win.”

Eagleson was one of three girls to make the Bi-County 1B All-Op-ponent team. “Her confidence and offensive ability grew by leaps and bounds this year; she truly deserved the recognition,” Henry said.

Joining her on the honors team were Justyne Talkington and Lacey Hirst. “I was very proud of their defensive and offensive leadership,” he added.

Thinking ahead to the 2010-11 season, Henry admitted that “losing our seniors will hurt but our future is bright. Our eighth graders played quite a few games at the high school level this year and have progressed in their skills quite a bit. With more work this summer, our plans are to get back to state next year.”
