Newport’s Kelsey Moore signs with WWU
May 10th, 2010 at Mon, 10th, 2010 at 3:40 pm by Joel WillitsNewport senior Kelsey Moore has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball at Western Washington University in the fall.
Moore was the team captain as a senior at Newport, despite being hampered the entire season by a severe ankle sprain. She was second-team All-KingCo 4A as a junior and the team MVP.
“Kelsey is a great addition to our volleyball team both on the court and in the classroom,” said Vikings coach Diane Flick. “She will provide some great depth to our outside hitter position as she has good ball control, a quick first step and, at 6-foot-1, adds height to the net.”
Flick also said a redshirt year for Moore would be “great for her development”.
Joel Willits I'm the sports writer at the Bellevue Reporter newspaper. On this blog you'll find extra bits and pieces to stories I've written, observations on events in our area, and a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bring a story together. I'll field questions here, and maybe even ask a few too. I'm a 2007 graduate of the journalism program at Eastern Washington University. Prior to joining the Reporter, I worked at USA Hockey Magazine and did radio work with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox AAA baseball team. When I'm not busy covering the happenings in Bellevue, I enjoy playing hockey, watching sports and spending time with my family. You can also follow me on Twitter or you can send me an email.
