Shorewood to play host to District volleyball first-round matches Saturday afternoon

Shorewood will be the host team for two Northwest District 3A volleyball tournament first-round matches Saturday afternoon.

The top-seeded Thunderbirds take a 10-5 season record (10-2 Western Conference 3A) into a 5pm match with Glacier Peak. Ferndale and Oak Harbor meet in another first-round match at 2pm Saturday, also at Shorewood. The four teams return to Shorewood Monday for second-round matches.

The tournament includes the top seven Wesco 3A teams plus Ferndale of the Northwest 3A/2A/1A Conference. Ferndale qualified for the tournament because it had a better conference record than the No. 8 Wesco 3A team.

Four other terms play Saturday and Monday at another site. 

The tournament continues Nov. 6-8 in Marysville.
