The 2005 Oregon Class 4A State Volleyball Championships was a success for the Roseburg Indians. The Hink Media Network (HMN) provided complete coverage of all of Roseburg's games from the Chiles Center via live internet radio broadcasts right here at jasonhink.com.

The Indians made it to bracket play Saturday after a surprising run in Friday's round-robin pool play. Roseburg was joined in Pool 3 with three opponents ranked in Oregon's top 10. The unranked underdogs finished 2-1 against the ranked teams with wins over Crook County and West Linn to advance to the final eight on Saturday. The Tribe then lost its first two matches in the double elimination tournament to McNary and Jesuit to end its season and its surprise run in the state playoffs.

Brock Myers had the play-by-play duties for the volleyball broadcasts, the first ever for Hink Media. Kevin Taggart and LeRoy Hink directed from the studio, with Taggart also giving live updates of other local sporting events.

"I'm really happy we were able to do some state volleyball matches this season," Jason Hink said. "I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome, especially Brock Myer's exciting call of the games for the Roseburg girls. "

HMN will look into adding regular season volleyball broadcasts to the schedule next fall. In the meantime, the company will gear up for the upcoming boys and girls basketball season.

"Congratulations to coach Myers and the RHS volleyballers," Hink said. "They had a great run and it was exciting to listen to."
