Lady Bulldogs in the News

The Lady Bulldogs continue to be ranked at #3 in the Texas Girls Coaches Association State 4A poll, behind Lake Travis & JJ Pearce.  Travis & Pearce seem to have a lock on the top 2 spots after defeating the Lady Bulldogs in the pre-season...but watch out for the post season!!

Among the Lady Bulldog varsity players that were recognized this week in the Houston Chronicle Volleyball Notes & Stats:
Paige Holland:  Leading the area in set assists as well as setting a record in assists
Katzy Randall:  2nd in kills per game and 4th in 4A in digs
Courtney Felinski:  4th in kills per game
Kylie Randall:  8th in kills per game

Quite an honor for all!  And we are looking forward to seeing them as they lead their team into the next half of district!

Dogs Ruin Bears Streak

WOW! 

As one fan put it:
"Price of admission to an awesome volleyball match?  $3.00
 Price of a coke that you CAN'T take in the gym?  $2.00
 Taking a picture by that Montgomery sign in the gym after kicking their butt?  PRICELESS!"

It was another match to remember, as your Magnolia Varsity went out strong in sets 1 & 2 in total control.  In set 3, the Dogs stepped away as the Bears got aggressive serving.  But the Lady Bulldogs rallied to serve tough and put the Bears on their heels to win a barn burner in game 4,  26-24!!

BATON ROUGE - After earning Tiger Classic MVP accolades over the weekend, Michele Williams picked up SEC Offensive Player of the Week Monday as announced by the league office. It's the third career weekly award for Williams from the SEC.
"We're extremely proud of Michele," head coach Fran Flory said. "She's been a big part of our success during non-conference and it's a direct reflection of her hard work during the offseason. Our goal on offense is to get her as many balls as possible when we can create opportunities for her."
Williams buried 45 kills at a 3.75 per set ratio and connected for an impressive .405 hitting percentage as LSU defeated North Carolina, Rice and New Mexico State to improve to 9-0 for the first time since the 1991 season. Her .371 clip for the season ranks fifth, while her 1.00 blocks per set are 10th in the SEC.
Williams provided at least five kills in five of her 12 sets of action at the Tiger Classic and powered home a career-best 20 kills against Rice. The Magnolia, Texas, native also tacked on 16 kills during LSU's thrilling five-set triumph over New Mexico State.
LSU heads into SEC play Friday with its annual "Gold Match" in addition to "Student Point Night" against Auburn. First serve is on-tap for 7 p.m. and fans following @lsuvolleyball on Twitter are eligible to win four tickets to the LSU football home opener against Mississippi State. The first 400 students also receive a "Gold Diggers" T-Shirt.
Live video and live stats are available in the Geaux Zone on LSUsports.net. Fans also can follow live in-match updates on the team's official
