Allie's Funny Newspaper Quote

So this is the article that was in the Tri-cities Herald about the game last Friday night. It was a very fun ending. Allison said she had no idea what she was saying when she was being interviewed. I am pretty sure she was getting the flu that night. Because the next morning she woke up with the pukeys!! So she can not be held responsible for the quote in the paper.
It was kind of sad because they should not have won the EV game. Which was great but they lost Saturday night to Wapato. Allie kept trying to get up and go to the game. But she could not stand. She was so sick so they need to do it with out her.


Walker leads Othello over EV
By Rene Ferran, Herald staff writer
OTHELLO -- Allison Walker heads to the University of Idaho in the fall on a volleyball scholarship.
On Friday night at Taggares Gym, the Othello senior showed off her volleyball skills on two big plays down the stretch that lifted the Huskies to a 47-44 CWAC victory over East Valley.
Walker's two-handed set on a putback with 32 seconds left gave Othello a 45-41 lead, and on EV's next possession she skied in the air to block Mary Orthmann's 3-point try.
"My teammates were like, 'Dude, you just volleyball spiked it!' " said Walker, who finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks. "And I was like, 'I know. It was sweet.' "
Sweeter still was that the victory moved Othello (10-5, 10-3) into a tie with the sixth-ranked Red Devils (12-3, 10-3) for second place in the CWAC standings. The Huskies also swept the season series from EV for the first time ever.
Walker had her big night despite playing with a stinger suffered in last Saturday's win over Grandview.
"She's still not 100 percent, but she did a great job tonight," said Huskies coach Laurie Stickel.
It looked early as if Othello wouldn't need any late-game heroics. The Huskies led 29-13 at halftime, forcing 12 turnovers (which they converted for 13 points) and grabbing 12 offensive rebounds (for 12 second-chance points).
"Everything was clicking in the first half," Stickel said. "We were doing all the right things."
The lead was still at 37-23 late in the third quarter when EV roared to life. The Red Devils held Othello without a basket for 9 minutes and went on a 17-4 run to get within 41-40 on a basket by Annie Martinez with 3:45 to play.
"We stopped being aggressive, and East Valley got after it," Stickel said.
EV had four tries to tie or take the lead, but missed two front ends of one-and-ones and had two turnovers before Justine Villarreal ended Othello's drought with a 10-foot jumper from the right baseline with 1:58 left.
"We finally started playing with more energy and enthusiasm," said EV coach Robi Raab. "But you expend so much energy to come back, sometimes it's hard to get the one you need to finish it off."
Christine Kirkwood also scored 15 points for Othello and grabbed 11 boards. Lauren Walker led EV with 12 points before fouling out with 2:27 to play.
