Scappoose Indians Girls Volleyball 2-3 Tillamook

Tillamook handed Scappoose a 3-2 defeat in a five-set girls volleyball match Tuesday night, dropping the Indians to 7-6 on the season. Scappoose, based in Scappoose, Oregon, made the trip down the coast for a Northwest Oregon Conference (5A) league clash that went the distance before the Cheesemakers secured the win on their home floor. The loss leaves Scappoose at 1-3 in conference play, a tough stretch that has the Indians needing to string together wins in league if they want to stay in the postseason picture. The fact that Scappoose pushed Tillamook to five sets shows there is fight in this group, and a road match that competitive can serve as a building block rather than a setback. The Indians will need to carry that resilience back home and convert close matches into wins. Scappoose returns to action later this week with more conference play on the schedule, and a bounce-back performance would go a long way toward steadying the season.
