The 29-8 Tioga Lady Bulldogs volleyball team ended their regular season Oct. 24 against the 27-11 Whitewright Lady Tigers in a match to decide the district championship, with the Lady Tigers winning 3-1.
The two talented squads met in a packed gym and went toe-to-toe, with each set going down to the wire, but Whitewright was able to hold in the end to take the win.
“It’s tough to lose when there’s so much on the line, but we played a good game,” Tioga head volleyball coach Trevin Robinson said. “… There were moments where we had chances to maybe change a set here or there. In the second and fourth sets, we had set point twice, but it didn’t work out our way [and] that’s part of it. We talked in the locker room after the game and said, ‘Hey, it’s a little bit bigger than volleyball; how can we learn from what happened?’ but I’m so proud of these girls.”
