Gregg Sasan continues as coach of the Lady Vikings volleyball team and faces a double challenge of low numbers and a stronger league that now includes the Wolverines from Friday Harbor.

The Vikings played Friday Harbor in the past, but only one of the two games played counted as a league game whereas this year both games will be league.

Asked about the team this season, Sasan said, “I am not sure yet. We only had 14 come out this year compared to 22 last year. I am still working that out. We’ll work hard and get through it. We are just getting smaller class sizes, which is why Friday Harbor is now in our league, they have smaller numbers too.”

Despite the low turnout, Sasan does have a handful of returning players with experience, which he will need against league powers Darrington, LaConner and Friday Harbor.
