The King’s Knights, last year’s Cascade Conference champions, cruised past the South Whidbey Falcons in straight sets Thursday, 3-0.

King’s, a 1A school, won 25-17, 25-13, 25-14 against a young Falcon squad that has only two seniors.

South Whidbey (0-1) was led by sophomore Abby Hodson with seven kills and four digs. Junior Mackenzie Hezel added five kills, as did sophomore Anne Madsen. Junior setter Meagan Longdon had 15 assists and five digs.

King’s secured its first victory under head coach Jeff Fransen, who took over after longtime Knights coach Steve Bain left to coach Northwest University.
