Lady Bobcats had MOJO Working on DAWGS

The Magnolia Lady Bulldogs dropped 3 closely fought sets tonight to a disciplined Cy Fair Lady Bobcat team in a match that had the Bobcats continuing to bend but never break. The DAWGS meanwhile had their impressive moments as well, but fell victim to more inconsistent, error-prone moments that eventually took their toll. It just never came together and the credit is due to the Lady Bobcats who played better tonight as they clipped the DAWGS (25-23, 25-22, 25-23) by not allowing Magnolia to get into a 'sudden death' situation where the DAWGS could potentially turn their MOJO loose!

Sophomore Lady Bulldog Katzy Randall

had a busy evening digging Cy Fair hits.

Senior Lady Bulldog OH Kelli Stewart led the DAWGS with 17 kills and were all well earned, but OHR Meagan Little had the best hitting percentage of the night for the DAWGS as she hammered the ball between and around double-teamed defenders shifting back and forth between both of Magnolia's outside hitters.

The match record for Magnolia now stands at 7-6 and one can't help but believe all this tough competition against most of the elite teams in the state of Texas is actually helping the ladies play better with more consistency. After all, a player must perform at the highest level on every play, day-in-and-day-out, without letting up or dropping her guard down for a moment. We can only imagine, the younger players are absorbing a ton of invaluable experience about right now that will pay dividends later.

Even though the season is young, the Lady Bulldogs have already tackled some of the best 5A and 4A volleyball teams in the state from different regions and will likely see most of these teams late in the season marching towards the state playoffs. It's been said more than once, "It's not how you start that counts, it's how you finish!"

The Lady Bulldogs have little to no rest, and will be taking on Jersey Village tomorrow morning (that's a Saturday morning, by the way) at 9:00 AM at Memorial HS, as they rejoin the festivities at the Spring Branch tournament.

GO LADY BULLDOGS!!!
