3A District 1 Tournament (winner to state)

No. 4 Monroe 3, No. 1 Stanwood 2

STANWOOD — Led by Shannara Peebles’ 29 kills, 19 digs and two aces, Monroe (15-4 overall) claimed a state berth with an upset over the Spartans (14-3), who did not lose a league match during the regular season.

Monroe won the first two sets, which were extended as neither team could claim the required two-point margin. The Bearcats won those sets by scores of 31-29 and 27-25 before Stanwood bounced back with 25-23 and 25-21 wins. Monroe took the decisive fifth match 15-12.

Kiah Dunbar set Monroe’s single-match block record with 12 to go along with four digs and four kills. Maddie Walker (21 digs, nine assists, three aces), Avery Ray (14 digs, 23 assists) and Naia Atalig also contributed to what Monroe volleyball coach Jami Walker called “a crazy five-set battle.”
