It was a good day at the office for the Lady Cats’ volleyball team as they won three matches and lost just one in a Garland tournament Friday. Playing in Rowlett, the Lady Cats finished second in their pool, which put them in the championship bracket. Once there the Lady Cats got a huge victory over a district nemesis.

In the championship bracket, the Lady Cats got a big victory over Hallsville, last year’s district champion when the Lady Cats finished second. The score Friday was 2-0 with set scores of 25-22 and 25-19.
