Middle School Volleyball Tournament a Huge Success

Bandera, Texas ● September 24, 2009

The 7^th Grade Volleyball team played in our Bandera Tournament last weekend. In pool play they competed against Kerrville and Mountain Valley. The Lady Bulldogs beat Kerrville in two games 25-21 and 25-17. Player of the game was Mary Hevenor for her outstanding serving. The girls then played and beat Mountain Valley in three very exciting, edge of your seat games. The first game was won 25-11, and the second game was lost 26-28. In the third game, the girls got behind early but with the serving of Lauren Williams they fought back and won 15-13. Lauren Williams was the player of the game for staying calm and getting her serves in and getting the team back in the game!

With these two wins behind them, the 7^th Grade Volleyball team was placed in the championship match against Boerne South. The Lady Bulldogs struggled from the get go and lost in two games 25-19 and 25-23 but did an excellent job representing themselves and the school.

In the 8^th Grade Bandera Tournament, Bandera Middle School hosted teams from Pearsall, Kerrville, Boerne South, Mountain Valley, and Ingram. The 8^th grade Lady Bulldogs beat Kerrville and Mountain Valley each in two games to make it to the Championship match against their rival Boerne South. The Lady Bulldogs came out on top with the scores of 25-12, 20-25, and 15-12. The outstanding Lady Bulldog goes to the entire team for their hard work, perseverance, and teamwork to come out on top and win the Championship.

The coaches and players want to thank parents, teachers, and students that helped volunteer to help make the tournament a success.
