WILD WEATHER, BIG MATCHUPS AND A TWO DAY TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS WEST TEXAS! šāļøš„
Tuesday night volleyball stretched all the way into Wednesday across the Texas Panhandle after severe weather rolled through Amarillo, bringing shelter in place warnings and forcing multiple matches to be suspended before they could be completed. Teams left gyms Tuesday night not knowing exactly when they would finish, then returned Wednesday to pick up right where they left off.
And there was plenty happening on the court too. The Tigers won the Battle of Frenship, Tascosa and Amarillo High stayed tied atop District 3-5A at 10-1, Lubbock Cooper made it seven straight wins, Andrews completed a reverse sweep of Greenwood in a battle of district unbeatens, and Odessa High rallied past Permian in a five set crosstown thriller.
It was a Tuesday night unlike any weāve had this season, one that needed two days to finish! Weāve got the scores, stats and stories from a wild couple of days of West Texas volleyball! šš»šš„
