Coach Suzie Deife said some season highlights have been ending league play with third place and fighting hard in every set for a win.

"We are looking forward to playing new teams we don't see in our regular season schedule," Deife said. "I feel our tough schedule this year prepared us for the playoffs."

The Lady Tigers were announced as the second seed out of the south.

Odessa won the District 7 Championship in the 2021 season. They swept the competition against Curlew (3-0), Almira-Coulee-Hartline (3-0) and Wilbur-Creston-Keller (3-0).

"We are hoping to take the district title again this year and advance to state as the number one seed,” Deife said.

Odessa will begin district competition against Inchelium on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. and play again at 5 p.m. or 6:15 p.m. based on match outcomes in Northport.
