Kamiakin is Returning to State at the Sundome in Yakima for The Third Straight Year

Kamiakin, Head Coach Morgan Schauble, looks forward to a strong showing at State after a great season. 

“We started last June with the saying “unfinished business” which included going after the MCC [Mid-Columbia Conferance] title, getting that first win in playoffs, and heading back to State.” She said: “Our next unfinished business is to bring home some hardware. The team is dialed in to achieve this goal and have been working towards it for three years.”

Coach Schauble also added that the team is poised to make a run with solid leadership and experience, as they have nine seniors and experienced players. She described the team as possessing a strong work ethic while playing with energy and selflessness.
