“Holy Stromboli, Tuslaw is solid,” exclaimed Central’s head coach Nate Holton. “They are skilled in the back row and they have numerous ways to attack you in the front row. We hung around for about 10-12 points in the first set and then they put on the afterburners. (Tuslaw coach) Sydney Mast (we are proud of our CCS alum) is one of the best young coaches around. She is tough, thorough and effective.”
