Tough Regional Finishes
Brooke
Lake U17 Blue battled through some injuries to finish 7th in the U17 division at the PSRVB Regional Championships at the end of April.  The team faced off two weeks later with the 11 top U17 teams in the region at the PSRVB invitational bid tournament May 5th, but was unable to earn a bid to the 2013 Junior National Championships.  The team will take a well deserved rest before beginning their end of season push as they get ready to compete in the Open divisions at both the Emerald City Classic in Seattle and the AAU Championships in Orlando, Florida.  LAKE U KNOW!
