Wolves drop wild match to Central Kitsap a bit. We came back and just couldn’t pull it out.” Buoyed by a 16-8 lead in the second set, the Wolves were able to prevail in overtime. They also led 21-20 before dropping the third set. Scott noted his team had 14 serves fall out of bounds during the match. “That’s a lot of points,” he said. “Even if you get half of those, it’s going to be a big boost. If there was one glaring thing that was it.” But for Scott, it was not nearly as troubling as his team’s previous match against CK, where it lost 19-25,

It often proves difficult for sequels to top originals. But for entertainment value, South Kitsap’s 25-18, 25-27, 25-21, 31-29 loss against Central Kitsap on Tuesday night might have been at least as exciting as the first five-set match between the Class 4A Narrows League rivals. Perhaps that is because the Wolves (6-6 overall, 3-5 league) and Cougars are evenly matched. But Central coach Michelle Miller had another theory. “I think honestly it’s evenly matched because they all play club together,” she said. “It’s the Kitsap rivalry. We knew it was going to be a really tough match regardless of what team is better any year. It’s always going to be close, I think, just because they all know each other and it means so much to them.” None was more competitive than the final set. After South took a 24-23 lead, there were five different lead changes before junior outside hitter Kemeka Corry ended the match with a kill for the Cougars (6-5, 5-4). “It was the perfect set by Erin [Kollars], I must say,” Corry said. “It felt very good.” She said it also was tense, at times. “When they got so close it scared us,” said Corry, adding that it was the longest
18-25, 25-10, 25-17, 15-10 on Sept. 19. “I’m still thinking of the last CK match,” he said. “It was very bothersome.” Even with that match in mind, Miller said she wanted to avoid another five-set match. “Our goal was to not to go to five games with them because in fifth games you never know what’s going to happen,” she said. “They’re a good enough team where they can take a fifth game off of us.” Perhaps that will be reserved for third install-
ment. Both coaches expected their teams to meet in the league playoffs Nov. 2 at Mount Tahoma High School. “It’s probably going to come down to this again,” Miller said. “Playing again.” Central Kitsap d.
