VHS Fall Sports Update
Volleyball – The Lady Loggers are
8-6 overall this season and sit in 5 th
place with a 4-3 record in North-
west League play.
After a difficult 3-2 loss to
west division rival Knappa (25-19,
16-25, 25-15, 16-25, 12-15) on Sep-
tember 15, Vernonia bounced back
with league wins over Columbia
Christian (3-0) and City Christian
(3-0, 3-0) before losing to Delphian
3-1 on October 4. The Vernonia
girls also stumbled with non league
losses to Warrenton in the Vernonia
Tournament and Jefferson in the
Western Mennonite Tournament.
The Lady Loggers are look-
ing forward to an important Home-
coming Week match up at home
with long time rivals Faith Bible on
October 6 and then a return match
with Knappa at home on October 15,
which could have playoff implica-
tions.
Football – The Loggers have a
2-3 record as they open Northwest
League play with their Homecoming
Game on October 7 against Gaston.
The Loggers played well in
a 20-19 win over Oakridge, before
losing 40-8 to Culver and 54-14 to
St. Mary’s from Medford.
Following their match up
with Gaston the Loggers will travel
to Nestucca on October 14, play at
home against Knappa on October 21

tober 28 at Neah-Kah-Nie.
