The Tioga Lady Bulldogs volleyball team are in the midst of the program’s most impressive playoff run since their state championship finish in 2016, earning back-to-back wins in the bi-district and area rounds.
The Lady Bulldogs defeated Alvord 3-0 for the program’s first bi-district championship since 2021 on Oct. 30 and survived a tense 3-2 battle against Wolfe City to take the crown in the area round Tuesday night.
“We have a great group of girls who have bought into what we’re doing, and coming into the year the expectation was, ‘They were a 15-win team, and they were the fourth seed in the playoffs; how can we improve on that?’” Tioga head volleyball coach Trevin Robinson said. “… Last night we were able to get past the first round for the first time since 2021, and we also broke the school record for wins this season across all sports with 30, which was previously 29, set by the 2016 team that won state. We still have a long way to go to get to where they were, but our goal is to keep chasing them and hopefully make that run at State.”
