High school volleyball: Seguin and Navarro earn victories on Tuesday night

(San Antonio) — The Seguin Lady Matadors improved to 4-0 in District 27-5A with their fourth sweep of the district season, taking down San Antonio Jefferson on the road on Tuesday night.

The Lady Mats won the match, 25-11, 25-10, 25-15. Senior Karina Lerma and sophomore Elli Anderson each had 14 kills on the night for Seguin. Junior setter Gisele Morales had 32 assists and reached 500 digs in her high school career. Morales achieved 1000 assists in her career against Sam Houston on August 27th.

The Lady Mats will next host Marion for a non-district match on Friday night. That match will get underway at 6:30 p.m. Friday evening at Goldie Harris Gym.

(Marion) — Speaking of the Lady Bulldogs, they fell to Poth at home on Tuesday night in straight sets.

Poth took the match 25-16, 27-25, 25-23. Marion was led by sophomore Whitley Wiatrek’s five kills and four blocks. Senior Bristen Birdwell and junior Ellie Parker each had 10 digs for the Lady Bulldogs.

(Geronimo) — And over at Navarro High School, the Navarro Lady Panthers won their 20th match of the 2024 season with a sweep of Devine on Tuesday night.

The Lady Panthers took all three sets, winning 25-10, 25-14, 25-19. Navarro got great contributions from freshman hitter Minka Dupreez, who set the tone defensively with a number of blocks at the net. Dupreez also came up big, giving the Lady Panthers a number of points on kills and drop shots.

Navarro head coach Paige Poth talked about the addition of Dupreez to their rotation after the victory.

“Our big thing was ‘how do we make our offense unpredictable, so we’re unscoutable?’ and adding (Dupreez) has been a great contribution. For a freshman, it’s hard to get out there and talk aggressively and want to go get the ball but  she does it so well.”

The Lady Panthers are now 20-11 on the season. Navarro will have the rest of the week off before returning to play next Tuesday with a non-district game at Universal City Randolph.
