Lady Bulldog Varsity Headed to Championship Bracket

2011-08-19T21:51:00.000-05:00

After falling to the host team, Byron Nelson, in the opening game of the Byron Nelson Invitational tournament, the Lady Bulldogs came back with a vengeance to win their next 2 matches. The victories punched their ticket to the championship bracket.

Magnolia battled a close one against Byron Nelson in game one, but fell short 25-21. Despite an early lead in game two, the Lady Bulldogs were unable to muster enough defense to combat the heavy handed hitters of the Lady Bobcats, falling 25-13. Madison Butler led the offensive charge with 6 kills, while Chelsea Reynolds dug up 11 balls.

Game two produced a totally different outcome, as the Lady Bulldogs began clicking on all cylinders. Kylie Randall and Kerstin Cleveland finished with 7 kills each, as Magnolia rolled to a 25-14, 25-17 victory. The Lady Bulldog serving game proved to be too much for the Lady Raiders, as Alyssa Fulgium notched 5 aces, followed by Cleveland with 2. Cleveland was a menace at the line, serving 16 times in the match.

Magnolia continued to improve, beating Midlothian 25-21, 25-16 to advance to the championship bracket. The Lady Bulldogs controlled both games from the get-go, as Randall made mincemeat out of the Lady Panthers with 13 kills and a pair of aces. Cleveland's six kills aided the cause, as once again, Shayna Daniels, Randall, Fulgium and Cleveland all came through from the service line.

Magnolia will now square off against Aledo at 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

LADY BULLDOGS WIN OVER PEARLAND

2011-08-13T23:05:00.002-05:00

On Friday, Aug 12, the Lady Bulldogs traveled to Pearland where the Varsity team won over a very talented Pearland team.

Although the 9th grade and JV did not win the match, both were very competitive in their games.

Scores:

9th (1-1) 25-21, 18-25, 20-25

JV (1-1) 11-25, 19-25

Varsity (1-1) 25-17, 25-19, 25-22

Tomball match Tuesday

2011-08-13T23:02:00.001-05:00

9A, 9B, JV BEAT TOMBALL
All subvarsity teams won against Tomball!

Varsity comes up short, losing to Tomball in 3 sets. Lots of errors cost the Lady Bulldog varsity against a solid Tomball team. The Varsity Bulldogs looked like they were a little intimidated by the Cougars, making errors repeatedly on defense. "We had too many mistakes tonight." said Coach J. "We missed crucial serves once in each set. Those balls caused us to lose the momentum of the game".

• It was inspiring to see the girls all dressed up, supporting each other, enjoying the evening at the banquet. Relationships & memories built for a lifetime! Thank you to our helpers that came early to prepare. A list of the awards that were presented is on the blog site. If you would like a DVD of the video, please let me know.
• Here is a great project that MHS did...all extracurricular student groups starred in it. It's called "lip dub". Our broadcast journalism teacher is awesome! She is also the one that filmed one of our matches early in the season. Look for your own Lady Bulldog VB girls at the stairs close to the beginning.

• As we approach the holidays, we are reminded how fortunate we are. We have joined again with the other MHS girls' sports to assist a family in need. Their wishes were few...basically to have a Christmas for their 3 kids, who will be receiving a couple of gifts each. We have learned that the parents are struggling...bills to pay, very hard times for their family. We are asking every girl in athletics to spare $5 so that we can join together to help this family.
From our coaching staff to your families...We wish you a very Merry Christmas & a safe, enjoyable holiday. May God continue to bless us all.
Coach J.

SWEEP #8
Magnolia sweeps Brenham!!

If you missed this one, you missed it BIG!

After being down by 2 sets, the Lady Bulldog Varsity showed heart and determination in coming back to win games 3, 4, AND 5 over Brenham! With the GREAT crowd of Bulldog Backers cheering them on, the Lady Bulldogs found the grit and determination to hold off a strong Brenham team. Chelsea Reynolds & Madison Butler came in to help the Lady Dogs with the comeback. Hard-hitting, high-flying offense that we have come to expect from setter Paige Holland, OH Katzy Randall, OH/M Courtney Felinski, and OH/M Kylie Randall led the way. The Lady Bulldogs also had to step up their defense at the net and in the back row, where Latasha Jones & Shayna Daniels were key components in spurring their team to victory.

Thanks to all the students, parents, and fans that came all the way to Brenham & got LOUD for the team! We appreciate you!

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!!

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

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!!

LSU's Michele Williams

Published: September 13, 2010, 08:03 PM (CT) by Matt Dunaway, Associate SID Share
Comments
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.

PEARLAND FINISH BEST EVER!

2010-08-29T07:59:00.000-05:00

It was an exciting weekend at the Pearland VB Classic Tournament!

Your own Lady Bulldog Varsity completed the tournament in superb fashion!

This tournament included, based on last week's rankings, #1 Lake Travis, #2 Lovejoy, #3 Richardson Pearce, #4 Westlake, #5 Hebron, #6 Cy Woods, #7 Flower Mound Marcus, #8 San Antonio Reagan, #12 Keller Central...just to drop a few names into the hat!

Of course at #13...Magnolia Bulldogs!

What a tourney it was...After finishing second to #7 ranked Marcus in pool play, the Lady Bulldogs entered the Gold Bracket against some of the best ranked teams in the state!
Pool Results:
Stony Point...Magnolia Won 2-0 (25-20, 25-18)
Ft. Bend Travis...Magnolia Won 2-0 (25-19, 25-23)
Marcus...Marcus Won 2-0 (25-15, 25-13)

On to the GOLD BRACKET!!

First victim: Georgetown, Magnolia Won 2-0 (25-23, 25-22)
Next victim: Seven Lakes...this team has been making a move with quality wins at the Katy tourney last week, but it was not enough to beat the Bulldogs...Magnolia Won 2-1 (25-19, 24-26, 25-20)

This sets up a showdown with #3 Pearce and moves us into the round of TOP 16...and it was a battle from beginning to end...with the final score 23-25, 24-26...and with a couple of questionable ball handling & line call...the second set could have changed...

The Lady Bulldogs didn't let the close loss to Pearce stop their journey...beginning play on Saturday vying for the #9 spot...and winning the next match over a familiar foe from Tuesday night: The Woodlands, Magnolia Won AGAIN 2-1 (25-23, 15-25, 25-22)

Next up was Cy-Woods, ranked #6 in the Texas Top 20 and #1 in 5A by the Texas Girls Coaches Association. Although we came up short with a 16-25, 16-25 loss...the team had TONS of BULLDOG PRIDE in this finish!

The BEST by a Bulldog team EVER at the Pearland Classic!! We finished tied for #11-#12. In this tourney of 76 quality teams...a GREAT achievement!!

Stats for matches will be posted on Monday! Congrats to Courtney Felinski, who stepped up her play as a senior leader on this squad throughout the tourney & was named to the "Best of the Best" All Tournament Team!

DAWGS Face Hereford in 4A Semi Finals

2008-11-20T17:22:00.016-06:00

The Magnolia High School Lady Bulldogs gave it all they had, but came up short against the seasoned, top ranked Hereford Lady Whiteface (44-3) in the Texas state 4A semifinals this evening, falling in 3 (25-18, 30-28, 25-19) tough, hard-played sets. Try as they may, the DAWGS stepped it up nearly even-ing the match in their second set, but Hereford wouldn't be derailed en route to their fifth state championship as the experienced, and impressive incumbent.

The following was condensed from LoneStar Volleyball posts:

In the first set, Natasha Giacomazzi had a couple of aces as the Lady Whiteface from Hereford (43-3) jumped to a 5-1 early lead on the Magnolia Lady Bulldogs, forcing a Magnolia time out in the 4A semifinal. When play resumed, Carley McCracken and Raegan Shelton unloaded on Magnolia and led by 8 at 13-5 in game one. Magnolia's defense had their hands full. Kelli Stewart had a couple of big kills and a block as Magnolia pulled within 5 at 16-11 and again at 18-13, but Hereford had way too many weapons for Magnolia to handle and took game one 25-18.

Magnolia settled down and came out strong as Kelli Stewart gave the Lady Bulldogs a 7-4 lead to start game two. The DAWGS expanded their lead as Meagan Little's ace gave Magnolia a 5 point lead at 14-9, which forced a Hereford time out. Meagan Little and Katzy Randall combined on a block to put Magnolia up 20-15, but a Hereford block, a Magnolia mistake and a kill by Andee Josserand cut the lead to 20-18. Kelli Stewart put Magnolia up 22-20 Josserand pulled Hereford within 1 at 22-21. Diane Knight's stuff tied it .Josserand's blast gave Hereford the lead 23-22 and Magnolia called time out. Both teams were playing at an intense level. Kelli Stewart on the slide to the middle made it 23-23. Hereford answered on Josserand's blast from the left 24-23, then committed a violation tying the score at 24-24. Katzy Randall's cross court kill put Magnolia up 25-24... Time out called by Hereford ...When time resumed, Shelton off the block tied it again at 25-25; Knight on the block put Hereford up at 26-25, when Meagan Little tied it once again, from the middle 26-26. Hereford went ahead at 27-26 on a Magnolia hitting error; then Meagan Little's soft dink in the middle tied it at 27-27.. Hereford went ahead 28-27 with the DAWGS getting into the net, then tied again at 28-28 with Josserand into the net. Hereford went up 29-28 with Josserand on a great save, then finished it 30-28 with McCracken on the stuff. The DAWGS dropped a close one, and now trailed 0-2 in the best 3-out-of-5 series.

Raegan Shelton had Hereford off to a fast start and a 9-5 lead in the third set., when timeout was called by Magnolia. Josserand gave Hereford a 2 point lead at 16-14 after Magnolia fought back from being 5 down at 14-9. Hereford started rolling from then on. Shelton's rip from the left gave Hereford a 21-15 lead. Hereford left no doubt in game three as they completely dominated the net on offense and defense to finish off the sweep at 25-19.

Magnolia was led by Meagan Little’s 9 kills in the middle. Courtney Felinksi and Kelli Stewart each had 8 and Katzy Randall had 7 as Paige Holland (29) continually looked for an offensive spark. Felinski and Randall are sophomores, “and I thought our sophomores really carried the load tonight,” said Johnson. “I was very proud of them.”

Magnolia: Paige Holland - 29 assists, 8 digs, 3 BA Angi Gould - 2 assists, 1 ace, 8 digs; Meagan Little - 9 kills, 1 assist, 2 aces, 1 BS, 1 BA Courtney Felinski - 8 kills, 1 BS, 1 BA Kelli Stewart - 8 kills, 9 digs, Katzy Randall - 7 kills, 11 digs, 1 BA Hannah Davies - 1 assist, 10 digs Breane Matula - 3 kills, 2 digs, 1 BA

DAWGS 4A State Bound

2008-11-15T19:53:00.012-06:00

The Magnolia Lady Bulldogs pulled them themselves back from the brink of elimination at 24-25 in set 4 to win and go to the final set in this best-of-5 series, against their rival and nemesis - the Brenham Lady Cubettes. The two teams have been on an unavoidable collision-course since the beginning of the season and truth-be-known, needed each other as rivals to keep striving to be better. After all, what would Batman be like without a Joker? The duel was not a disappointment! The fans, press, security, UIL representatives, and every other breathing human being were treated to a classic, Texas-style donneybrook in the Coleman Coliseum and it was almost a shame that some one had to go home without the 4A Region III trophy. I said almost. The drama, the excitement, the cheering, the friendships, the school pride, the disappointment, the tradition, the pagentry of it all .... it was all there-- bottled up in this venue and undoubtedly being experienced by everyone on both sides of the isles and on the floor!

It was a tough loss for Brenham, who also played like champions.

You can be guaranteed that you'll see them for years to come!

To get to where these teams are, you'll have to go back to the first meeting between these 'evil twins', .....errrrrr teams, on October 8th (pan out, fade back, with harp gently playing.....) with the match going the DAWGS way in 5 emotional sets inside the DAWG House; then spring -boarding 6 days forward to October 14th, traveling to their northwestern neighbor's pad in Brenham, as the host Cubettes took the DAWGS down in 4 raging games ... and of course, not without controversy thrown into the mix. Both teams were evenly matched, familiar with each other (club volleyball team mates) and played hard, clean volleyball. The end result was both squads were District 18-4A Co-Champions, but it really meant there were 2 Kings-of-this-hill with some unanswered questions. Somehow it just didn't feel right with both teams having to "agree to disagree" and take different seeded paths into the playoffs. It was hard to say who had more revenge on their minds, and even harder to say who wanted this re-match more than the other. I guess it's a good reason to take it out and settle it on the court ....that's why we play 'em folks!!!

The Lady Bulldogs were Region III 4A Champs for a

whole 5 seconds when this picture was taken!

The first set uncharacteristically went to the Cubettes 25-22 who trailed for more than the first half of the set until they forged ahead at 16-15. The DAWGS opened the set up with a Meagan Little kill at 1-0 which was followed up by Kelli Stewart at 2-0 and the Cubettes answered with a couple of kills of their own. Courtney Felinski hammered one at 4-3 before Katzy Randall went on a tear with 4 kills at (5-4, 6-5, and 7-6; and later with a backrow blast at 15-14) as Kelli rotated around and chimed in kills at 8-6, and 11-6 (and blocked 2 shots in-between). The Cubettes were hanging close-by and not going away as the teams tied themselves up 4 more times. That is, until the Cubettes serving game gave the DAWGS trouble from that point forward, starting at 21-20. The DAWGS could only muster a couple of points while playing back on their paws, as the Cubettes closed the set, going away at 25-22.

Breane Matula had a pair of kills enabling the

DAWGS for a comeback win in the second set.

Set 2, same start ... but with better results. The DAWGS led from start to finish, stretching the lead to 9 points at 11-2, thanks to a great team effort: (Paige Holland kill at 3-0, Meagan Little kill at 4-1, Courtney Felinski kill from a quick set at 7-2, then a pair of kills from Breane Matula 7-2 and 10-2, and a Kelli Stewart block at 11-2). The DAWGS continued to press forward with their powerful offense and a fast moving defense, outscoring the Cubettes by 3 over the next 10 points, with the score settling at 21-9. The teams traded points from that forward 5 to 5, unfortunately the Cubettes did not have them to spare. Final: 25-14 .... DAWGS. The sets are tied at 1-1, and now the game is afoot, only with a shorter field, as the eventual winner will just need to take the next 2-out-of-3. The place was beginning to buzz.....

Courtney Felinski and Breane Matula in perfect position

to block the Cubettes attack. It also helps to have Paige

Holland and Hannah Davies backing you up, too!

Set 3 .... role reversal? Are you kidding? Who would think otherwise? Coming off such a dominating performance, you'd think the DAWGS would hit the ground running and outdistance the Cubettes from the get-go, right? Wrong....!!! Instead the DAWGS committed 3 errors at the start and it took Kelli Stewart a couple of kills, one at 1-3 and another at 2-3, and a block at 3-3 to get the DAWGS back into the set. Unfortunately, tying the set was not going to be enough.The teams fought it out, closely tying themselves 4 times from that point without leading or trailing by more than 2 points until midway in the set at 11-11. The Cubettes played exceptional defense and methodically, dismantled the DAWGS' machine, jumping out to a 7 point advantage on a 14 to 7 run to the finsh line. Score: Cubettes 25 and DAWGS 18. The field got incredibly shorter...

Super sophomore Setter Paige Holland again moved

the ball around nicely, finishing with 53 assists!

Set 4 .... a marathon! The emotional roller-coaster, the kill-or-be-killed game; it's all or nothing; there can be just one; all the cliches could be rolled onto the court! Again, the Cubettes led early in the match...up to 4 points at 8-4, before the DAWGS roared back with 5 straight to lead at 9-8 and one burned time-out by the Cubette coaching staff. The DAWGS kept playing hard and pushing ahead behind Courtney Felinski's kill at 10-10 (to stop the momentum of 2 Cubette kills); then a Meagan Little/Breane Matula block at 11-10, followed by a Katzy Randall kill at 13-10 and a bunch of Cubette miscues and kills and another Meagan Little kill at 16-14; and a Kelli Stewart dink at 18-15 and an error later, the DAWGS had pulled ahead by 4 at 19-15 and the last timeout was called by Brenham. Once time was called back in the Cubettes scored 5 straight before the DAWGS scored one to tie the set at 20-20. The DAWGS went ahead by 2 at 22-20, then gave one back at 22-21; then traded points and added a kill at 24-22. Brenham came back with 2 points of their own at 24-24, then went ahead, smelling a chance to stab the DAWGS in the heart with a dagger and avenging their earlier district loss to the DAWGS with a kill at 25-24. Gulp! Is the DAWGIE Machine nearing extinction and grinding to its' end?

Angi Gould was giving all she had! It was this kind of effort ALL

of the ladies were giving that was needed for tonight's victory!

The DAWGS roared, "Absolutely not!" and quickly resurected themselves and blasted 3 straight to win by 2 at 27-25 and to live and fight another day! An incredible, gutsy execution at their darkest moment. The ladies are breathing on their own and it was only a flesh wound! The good news just got even better.....the match is now tied at 2 apiece and a sprint to be the first to score 15 points in the upcoming and deciding set is all that's needed by the winning team to be crowned as the Regional Champions! Holy, frijole .... you gotta love this game!!!

Katzy Randall went around the defending Cubettes ... Ya!! 14 times!

Set 5 ... The cream rises to the top! Thankfully, the DAWGS blew straight ahead out of the starting blocks, capitalizing on a lift error by the Cubettes at 1-0, then launching a missile from Kelli Stewart's arsenal at 2-0; then a Meagan Little blast of her own at 3-0; followed up by a trio of kills by Kelli at 3-1, 4-1, and at 5-1 and the DAWGS were just finding their comfort zone. The fantastic start in this nail biter was just what the doctor ordered for any of the cardio-challenged DAWG lovers! The teams split points evenly and found themselves in the same relative position at 10-4, but now with an even shorter, quick sprint ahead of themselves for the win and the prize! Again, the Lady Bulldogs pushed forward adding the extra strength that was being gathered with each new point ... and now the trophy was within their grasp! Click on the audio file below:

Senior Kelli Stewart gave another command performance

with 23 kills, 19 digs, 3 aces and 5 block assists!

DAWGS Sweep Lady Mustangs in Regionals

2008-11-14T20:49:00.004-06:00

The Magnolia Lady Bulldogs made it a clean sweep (25-13, 25-20, and 25-23) over the Friendswood Lady Mustangs tonight in the second match of a double header in the Regional III Semi-Finals competition. The DAWGS overpowered the Stangs from the hitting lanes, played great defensively; and with 3 solid 'consistent sets' of DAWGIE ball.

Lady Bulldogs Courtney Felinski (6) and

Breane Matula (5) at the top of their game.

In this final set, the DAWGS came out of the pen with a charge, quickly leading by 8 at 13-5 and firmly in charge with this 3rd set with Kills by Kelli Stewart at 1-0; at 4-1 after Courtney Felinski blocked an attack attempt at 3-0; then with a backrow shot at 6-3; with 2 blasts out of Katzy Randall at 8-4 and 9-5; and a block from the "always reliable", MB Meagan Little at 10-5.... and a bunch of Lady Mustang errors. The Stangs turned the table from there and outscored the DAWGS by 5 with a 14 to 9 gallop towards the finish line and were within striking distance at 22-19. Meagan Little blasted another kill at 23-19 and with a Lady Mustang's error the score went to match point at 24-19, and things looked pretty good for the DAWGS. Again, the Stangs made a run and scored 4 straight, tightening the noose to 24-23, but turned out to be "too little too late" as Katzy Randall ended it with a kill shot that landed in front of the line judge and just as suddenly, half the fans went silent on the south side of the Coleman Coliseum and the other half went nuts!!

The DAWGS were in a celebratory mood at the end of this one!

The DAWGS had just advanced to the Region III Finals which will be played at the very same Coleman Coliseum at 6:00 PM Saturday November 15th. The ladies will be facing their district 18-4A rival: the Brenham Lady Cubettes who happen to share the district co-championship title with the DAWGS. The Cubettes took care of the El Campo Ladybirds in the earlier match.

The Lady Bulldogs were led by senior Kelli Stewart's 17 Kills, 9 Digs, and 3 Aces; sophomore Katzy Randall who had 12 Kills, 15 Digs, with 1 Ace; senior MB Meagan Little who had 8 Kills; with sophomore MB Courtney Felinski and senior OHR Breane Matula both having 3 Kills apiece. Defensively, senior Libero Hannah Davies covered the floor for 17 Digs, with team mate sophomore setter Paige Holland totalling 10 Digs, but with an incredible 41 assists. Junior DS Angi Gould added to the war chest with 2 Aces.

GO LADY BULLDOGS!!!

DAWGS Put it All Together in Set 2

2008-11-14T20:21:00.004-06:00

After coming off a quick and deadly start in the first set, the confident Lady Bulldogs would need to keep the momentum going their way and keep focused on the Lady Mustangs on the other side of the net and what was ahead. After all.... this is the state playoffs.

Friendswood came out swinging with a kill shot to open the set. Paige Holland answered their point quickly by drawing the Mustang front line into the net and dastardly, dinking the ball behind herself while looking like she was going to set the ball to the outside. (You just gotta love that shot when it works for you, and absolutely hate it, when it work's against you!) Sophomore team mate MB Courtney Felinski set the prescedent for her team mates with a follow-up kill shot through the middle at 2-1, and the DAWGS turned to butter...... as in, "you can call me BUTTER, 'cause I'm on a roll".

The DAWGS opened the lead to 4 at 11-7, as the team scoring had gone full circle (Katzy Randall kills at 6-4 and 7-5; Meagan Little at 9-6 .... with the ball bouncing off a wounded Stang and ending 8 or 9 rows up in the colesium, and at 10-7; culminating with another patented Paige Holland dink. It seemed the Lady Mustangs were very talented, but maybe, 'slow-learners'....

OH Lady Bulldog Katzy Randall blew 3 kills by the

Mustangs down the stretch, for a pivital DAWGIE victory.

Both teams continued their combative play with neither team making up any ground at the expense of the other. But both teams were10 points farther down the line, with plenty of work that still needed to be done at 21-17. In that stretch, the high-flyin' Kelli Stewart pounded Friendswood with kills at 13-9, 14-10, and an ace serve at 15-10; Katzy Randall continued her assault as the rotation came around with kills at 16-11, 18-15,and 19-16; and the DAWGS had the luxury of being closer to the finish line. We'll let the audio file describe the events from here:

The Mustangs may have felt like they were experiencing 'double

vision' as Kelli Stewart pounded them for 5 kills in the second set.

Press > to Play:

The DAWGS have been showing a multi-pronged attack that opposing teams will continue to have a hard time defending against and one can only truly see what a team effort can do when it's working like the DAWGS have it going right now. Volleyball is a team sport and when it clicks, it is an awesome sport to play and to watch ....... I'll take the latter, thank you!

ALL THE WAY DAWGS!!!

DAWGS Stampede Mustangs in First Set

2008-11-14T19:57:00.006-06:00

Divide and Conquer....who knew (other than the Lady Bulldogs) this was the perfect strategy for taking on the tall and talented Friendswood Lady Mustangs (25-9, 11-1) in the Reginal III Semi-Finals? In a war-like chess game turned volleyball-ish (ok, so it's a stretch) the strategy could be applied as the Mustang front line stacked up well against the DAWGS, and the team and staff had to figure a way around the debacle. Enter Kelli Stewart, Katzy Randall, Meagan Little, Courtney Felinski, Breane Matula, Paige Holland, Angi Gould, and .... the all too important: Hannah Davies and team mates.

The DAWGS needed to be successful hitting from the outside(s) to force the middle blocker over to double-team the block, then quick-set and/or set and hit the (open) middle area when appropiate. It also meant that a tip was just as valuable as a point, as was a crushing, crosscourt kill shot. This same strategy applied by the other team could come back to bite the 'good-guys' too! It may have been Hannah Davies finest hour as the libero was at the right place, at the right time --- at least 17 times (and more). When the Mustangs tried to dink the ball over the defending DAWGS, Hannah was there, one step ahead. When a hard-hit ball got through, Hannah was there, with her outstretched arms. Without her digs and passes the DAWGS couldn't transition back to offense, when they'd been attacked and to go after the Mustangs when they were out-of-position.

Senior MHS Lady Bulldog Hannah Davies had it all

going her way with her great play this evening.

The Lady Bulldogs never looked back from the first Meagan Little kill at 1-0 until the final buzzer. The DAWGS stampeded the Mustang herd, bombarding, then cutting the horses out, by moving the ball side to side and hitting the open lanes with blistering kill shots. For the DAWGS, it meant a Courtney Felinski Glide at 2-1; a couple of Katzy Randall missiles at 5-3, 6-3; a kill by Breane Matula on the right at 7-5; and Meagan again in the middle at 8-5. The Stangs were getting a little skiddish as the DAWGS went on a 7 point run, and the strategy was working like a charm.

Senior OHR Breane Matula controlled the left side of the Mustangs

machine, while blasting away on the DAWGS' right side.

When the next rotation came around for super-senior Kelli Stewart, the DAWGS were zeroing in on the Lady Mustangs, as Kelli lit them up, scattering kills at 13-7, a block at 15-7; a follow-up kill (after Meagan jammed them again at 16-7) with a lightning-bolt-of-a-shot at 18-8; and then another blast at 19-10. Just when things looked bad for Friendswood ... yes, it was Hannah Davies' turn!! Senior Libero Hannah who may have been operating in 'stealth mode', and recalling her years of setting skills and techniques, carefully pushed her shot close to the Mustangs' back line for a kill at 20-10 and the rout was officially on. Here's the audio clip on this one ...

DAWGS Head to Regional Semi Finals

2008-11-12T18:28:00.009-06:00

The Magnolia Lady Bulldogs and the Buda Hays Lady Rebels went head to head in their Regional Quarter Finals match in the confines of the Mary Hardin Baylor's Mayborn Campus Center, Tuesday evening and the DAWGS came out on top (3-1). Magnolia took the first set 25-14, then dropped the second set 23-25, before regrouping and taking the next two sets 25-11 and 25-12.

Lady Bulldog hitter Katzy Randall had the jump

on the Lady Rebels enroute to a 13 kill evening.

Kelli Stewart, Katzy Randall, and Meagan Little each had 13 kills. Courtney Felinski had 6 kills and 2 solo blocks, and several assist blocks. The official stats were not available immediately post game.

Lady Bulldogs OHR Breane Matula (L) and MB Courtney

Felinski teamed up to shut down the Lady Rebels' attack.

The DAWGS will be facing the Friendswood Lady Mustangs in the Regional Semi Finals on Friday (see info below). After capturing the Class 4A Region III title the last two years, Friendswood knows how to win in November.
