(Yakima, WA) The Yakima SunDome was again the setting for the 3A State Volleyball Tournament. One thing is for certain and that is there will be a new 3A State Champion. The Mead Panthers have won 2 of the last 3 and would likely be here to defend their title except in the recent re-classification the Panthers are now a 4A team and are competing in the 4A tournament as the 14 seed. 

The most recent Champion in the current tournament is Mt Spokane who won back to back titles in 2018 and 2019. The Wildcats are the 6 seed. Maybe a 1st time Champion will emerge as #1 Ridgeline, #2 North Thurston, #4 West Seattle have never won a Volleyball Championship. #3 Prairie took the title in 2012 and #5 Seattle Prep won it in 2010.

We’ll cover each round of the tournament on this post with the schedule, results and round-by-round re-caps as the results become final. This story will cover all 26 matches.
