Senior setter/defender Britlyn Walls posted a double-double with 24 aces and 13 digs.
Dropping to 2-8 against strong competition, Seguin will return to the hardwood next Tuesday at 6:15pm versus TAPPS 6A’s Incarnate Word in a non-district contest.
(Geronimo) — The Navarro Lady Panthers pulled a 6A-sized upset by taking down Samuel Clemens 3-1.
Down 22-18 in the go-ahead third set, Navarro outscored Clemens 9-3 to take the 2-1 lead 27-25.
Building off that emotional high, Navarro finished Clemens off 25-17 in set four to break their four-game losing streak.
“That’s huge momentum,” Navarro Head Coach Paige Poth said. “[The girls] kept their composure and stayed aggressive. We’re going to see a lot of big teams moving forward.”
Also, Navarro’s senior setter Hannah Durrett earned her 1,000th career assist in set one.
“She’s been a kid that’s played it all. Her freshman year, we had two great setters, so she didn’t get in the setter spot. She was a [defensive specialist] for us. Then [her sophomore year], she stepped into the role. Now this year, she has had to run the 5-1 offense. She has never hesitated about being front row. It really does a lot to keep the calm of the court.”
Back in victory lane, Navarro will venture down to the Floresville Tournament to face San Antonio MacArthur and Victoria East on Thursday.
(San Antonio) — The Marion Lady Bulldogs’ four-game heater came to an end against 5A SA Veterans Memorial last night. Marion took the first set 27-25 before falling 25-21, 25-20, and 25-18 to lose the four-set match.
Next up, Marion will venture to Schulenberg for tournament action this Thursday against Hallettsville’s Sacred Heart Indians and the Columbus Cardinals.
