It took all five sets and a comeback with their backs against the wall, but the Newport volleyball team kept its conference record perfect Thursday night in hostile territory at Skyline, beating the second-seeded Spartans to take the conference title and earn the top seed from KingCo to the 4A state tournament.

The Knights dropped the first set 25-21 before going down 2-0 after Skyline won the second 25-19.

But it was too much Newport down the stretch, as coach Steve Trachy’s squad rebounded with 25-21, 25-20 and 15-12 wins.

The 4A state volleyball tournament begins Nov. 15 at Saint Martin’s University and Timberline High School in Lacey.
