Arlington netters win district title

MARYSVILLE — It’s been 20 years since Arlington won a district title in volleyball.

The top-seeded Eagles won the 3A district championship defeating Squalicum 3-1 Nov. 5. It was the first time the Eagles took the crown and made a state run since 1996.

In just her third season coaching Arlington, Whitney Williams is quite pleased.

“This is definitely a big deal,” Williams said. “Overall, this has been the most-successful season in school history with being Wesco champions, district champions and planning to make a good run at state.”

Arlington highlights: Senior hitters Ashley Baker led with 19 kills and 13 digs, and Morgan Van Laar added 14. Senior and libero Hannah Michaels led with 36 digs.
