From Coach Shipley:
Your BHS Lady Dawgs Volleyball teams have been back at work for almost two weeks! After week one of two-a-days and tryouts, our three teams traveled to Glen Rose on Saturday for multiple scrimmages against some great teams from the DFW area. All three teams competed well and allowed us (coaches) to see many things to improve on and also things we are already doing well. It was a very long 11 hour day, but our girls pushed through and got better!
On Tuesday, we traveled to Blanco for the first match of the season. Our 9th grade team started the night off strong with a win in two sets! Scores were: 25-14 and 25-22. This group is full of talent and we are excited to see what they do in their high school careers.
Our JV girls were up next and battled through 3 close sets! Unfortunately, we fell short 24-26 in the third set. It's encouraging to see how far this group has come since middle school. They are getting better every time they get on the court and we expect another amazing season from this crew! Scores were: 22-25, 25-21 and 24-26.
The Lady Dawg Varsity team started a little shaky, still getting used to playing with each other. They are a scrappy, defensive team and they get after it! They were able to seal the first win of the season in a long, 5 set battle! This made for a very long night before the first day of school! I am so proud of the resiliency this team is already showing! They will be in Wimberley for the TEXFEST Tournament on Friday and Saturday. All three teams will be back on the road next Tuesday to Copperas Cove. I am attaching our schedule and would love to see everyone come out and support these young ladies. They are fun to watch!
