In an all-Kirkland Kingco league volleyball match between Lake Washington and Juanita on Tuesday night, the Kangs swept the Rebels 3-0 on their home court.
Lake Washington took an early lead in each of the first two games, winning handily 25-15, 25-15 before Juanita, bolstered by outside hitter Sarah Brennan’s game-high 13 kills, made a run at the Kangs in game three before falling 25-23.
For Juanita High head football coach Shaun Tarantola, the last couple years have been a tale of two seasons.
In 2010, the Rebels took full advantage of a talented group of transfers, made the state tournament for the first time since 1994 and finished with a 9-2 record.
When head coach Steve Supple took over the Lake Washington football program in 2010, he had a vision of where he wanted the Kangs to be.
Entering his third year, the skills and work ethic are there – but the numbers, not quite yet.
The Lake Washington High School and local softball communities suffered a great loss last Friday morning when Mike Watson, who coached the Kangs to a Class 3A state tournament berth last spring, died after suffering a heart attack while driving.
