But even though the Bainbridge volleyball team lost to the defending 3A state champs Bishop Blanchet in three games by the scores of 25-18, 25-21 and 25-19, both head coach Julie Miller and the players felt their effort was better than in games past.

Gilbreath returns, scores three touchdowns in the first half. After two tough games back-to-back, the Bainbridge football team got a bit of a breather with an undermanned Lakeside team coming to the island.
But head coach Andy Grimm wasn’t taking them lightly.
“I really like their team,” he said. “I knew they would come out and play hard. They hung with (Seattle) Prep, so that told me if we weren’t ready to play, they would give us trouble.”
The Spartans kept that from happening as Dayton Gilbreath rushed for 112 yards and scored three times – all in the first half – as the Spartans defeated the Lions 35-7 in the annual Homecoming game.

The Bainbridge girls’ golf team had great success last season, but they’re not ones to rest on their laurels.
Last season they won the Metro League regular season title, finished second to Holy Names at the Metro League tournament, placed third at the district tournament in May and qualified four golfers to the state tournament.
