Pullman girls also bring home trophy

Pullman girls Saturday topped out Whitman County’s run in the state volleyball finals with a win in the 2A division. Coached by David Weitz, the Greyhounds out-battled Archbishop Murphy in five games at the 2A finals in Kennewick. Pullman led all the way in the fifth game decider.

The `hounds took out Black Hills of Olympia in three games in the semi-final round at Kennewick’s Toyota Center. The 2A title win means three of the six state net trophies were won by Whitman County teams.

Weitz, a 1985 graduate of Colfax High School who played club volleyball at EWU, has coached club ball for junior teams in Pullman for years. He took over the PHS program this year.
