DISTRICT RACES HEAT UP, HISTORY IS MADE AND 3-5A DELIVERS AGAIN! šš„
Another loaded weekend of volleyball across West Texas brought big matches, big milestones and plenty of movement in the district races.
District 3-5A was once again front and center as Tascosa went on the road and swept Lubbock Cooper to remain atop the district race, Amarillo High kept pace with a dominant sweep of Monterey, and Frenship took care of Coronado in straight sets. Frenship Memorial also rallied past Lubbock High in four on a special Pink Out night that raised more than $2,000 for the Greer family.
New Home made program history with its first district win, Randall stayed alone atop District 4-4A, Canyon moved to 7-1 in district, and West Plains improved to 6-2.

MEMORIAL RALLIES PAST LUBBOCK HIGH ON A NIGHT BIGGER THAN VOLLEYBALL! šš©·
Frenship Memorial dropped the opening set to Lubbock High, but the Lady Panthers responded by winning three straight to close out the four set victory. Makenzie Ivy led the attack with 15 kills, while Jovi Phillips added 11 and Mercedez Rodriguez finished with 23 assists and 12 digs.
But the best part of the night had nothing to do with the final score. It was Memorialās Pink Out, and Coach Gibson was a great sport, getting covered in silly string as part of an effort to raise money for Erin Greer, a Ropes mom currently battling breast cancer. The Memorial community stepped up in a big way, raising more than $2,000 for the Greer family!
Huge shoutout to Coach Gibson and everyone who helped make the night about something much bigger than volleyball. š©·šš»
