Forty minutes of cold, gritty pee wee football wasn’t enough time for South Whidbey and Lakewood White.
The four seniors on the Falcons volleyball team — Kelsey Taylor, Katie Bushey, Lyna Nichols and Alyssa Coupe — gathered to talk about their memories on the court for South Whidbey after the last home game against King’s High.
If only the game started like it ended.

The organizers claimed the 5,000-meter course was fast.
Turns out, they were right.
