South Kitsap returned few experienced players from its 2008 team and that was reflected on the volleyball court.

The Wolves finished 5-12 overall and 4-8 in Narrows League play. Only two players — middle blocker Mallory Horch and setter Brittany Stepper — were selected as honorable mentions on this year’s team.

The all-county team, made up of eligible players from schools in Kitsap County, was voted on by the sports editors and writers of the Kitsap News Group, including the Port Orchard Independent, Bainbridge Review, Bremerton Patriot, Central Kitsap Reporter and North Kitsap Herald.

2009 All-Kitsap County Volleyball Team

OH/S — Sarah Baugh, sophomore, North Kitsap: As a floor captain on the Olympic League champion North Kitsap team, Baugh led the Viking offense with 220 kills, 249 assists, 123 digs and 33 aces in the regular season.

“She is a unique athlete, physically gifted and court smart,” coach Tim French said.

OH — Asha Hill, junior, Central Kitsap: The 5-foot-6 Hill led Central Kitsap with 243 kills, adding 261 digs and 28 aces to help the Cougars to third place in the Narrows League.

OH — Taylor Ottomano, senior, North Kitsap: The ambidextrous Ottomano was the Vikings’ second leading hitter with 183 kills during the regular season and 70 more in the postseason. Her regular season stats also included 22 blocks and 66 digs. With a kill percentage of 57, she was a constant threat up front.

MB — Alexis Wesley, junior, Central Kitsap: The 6-foot Wesley was Central Kitsap’s second-leading finisher, posting 167 kills to go with a Narrows League-best 79 blocks. Wesley’s tall frame made her a force at the net.

L — Amy Stone, senior, Olympic: An accurate passer and formidable attacker, Stone finished the regular season with 39 kills, 32 assists, 81 aces and a team-high 274 digs. Coach Keith Peden called Stone’s serve “deadly,” adding she “is one of the best I have ever coached as far as volleyball IQ goes.”

S — Chelsea Brustad, senior, Olympic: Arguably her team’s most well-rounded player, Brustad tallied 425 assists, 104 digs, 32 aces and 23 kills for the Trojans. Recognized as a hard worker and team leader, Brustad used solid defense as well as a tough serve to anchor Olympic.
