High School Volleyball

Woodland High School volleyball standout Emily Curtis topped this week's online voting for the Athlete of the Week.

Woodland volleyball players, coaches and their fans have waited 17 years for this day. A state championship day win, 3-1, and it came with a victory over rival Calais.
