If you had Centralia volleyball coach Marti Smith concoct her ideal Centralia volleyball match, she very likely would have imagined a night like Saturday on Ron Brown Court, when Centralia hosted its third annual alumni match.

“I didn’t want it to end,” Smith said. “Let’s just stay in the gym and keep playing. I love this energy, and I love everybody that’s on the court.”

After a thrilling five sets, the alumni team eventually picked up the victory over the 2026 varsity team. Three of the five sets went to extra points, including the fifth set, which the alumni team eventually won 19-17.

The final score in favor of the alumni was 29-27, 26-24, 16-25, 22-25, 19-17.

“It was a really amazing match,” Smith said.

NAPAVINE — Even after 20 years and winning state championships, Josh Fay is still evolving as the head football coach at Napavine High School.

Case in point: He has ditched the traditional coaching head set for… noise-canceling Beats headphones. And the assistants were donning some Airpods to communicate through an app.

“You have to have some sort of Bluetooth device,” Fay said. “The Beats were on sale; I have taken some heat for that. The noise-canceling part makes the sideline really enjoyable. I think my blood pressure is way down.

“The Beats are a thing until it rains.”

New way of communication. Same old Napavine.

An astonishing 47 points were scored in the second quarter plus the defense gave up just two total yards, which allowed the Tigers to skunk Toutle Lake 61-0 on Friday night at home to open the 2026 season.

ADNA — There’s some saved memories in the noggins of the 12-member Adna High School football team’s senior class.

A mixture of good and bad ones. Yet several of the negative ones all involve a particular team that wears red and black. Grayson Humphrey believes it goes back to even middle school.

“You can’t explain the emotion, they have kicked our butt for three years of high school football,” the wide receiver/defensive back said.

The Pirates made sure to return the favor on Friday night.

Spurred by forcing five turnovers, controlling the line of scrimmage and some clutch plays, Adna gave its seniors a checkmark it long desired for with a 42-18 victory over Toledo at home.

Like any season-opening game, Friday night wasn’t perfect for W.F. West.

The Bearcats turned the ball over three times, gave up a defensive touchdown, and struggled to move the ball at times in the second half.

W.F. West may not have been perfect, but it was more than good enough to double up Peninsula and come away with a 42-21 victory in its season opener.

Late against Washougal, Rochester coach AJ Easley had a tough decision to make.

Two, actually.

Up eight late in the fourth with possession deep in their own half of the field, the Warriors faced two fourth downs.

Instead of punting the ball back on either, Easley went for both. The Warriors converted both and went on to drain the rest of the clock, sealing a 22-14 win over the Panthers.
