Dawgs Take 5th District Sweep in a Row vs Conroe


Lady Bulldog setter Caitlin Holland kept Conroe guessing where the ball was

going to go - all night long! Caitlin had 18 assists against the Lady Tigers.


Let there be no question, no doubt about who's the Queen of the Mound or the Lead DAWG in this District hunt.....! The 13th ranked Lady Bulldogs (25-7, 6-0) made up for their lackluster appearance in Conroe against these Lady Tigers 18 days ago, by skunking, crushing, slamming, sweeping, or whatever you want to call it..... in 3 sets - for their 5th District sweep in a row, and 19th sweep overall this season. The ladies are now also on an 11 match winning streak. This kind of success doesn't just happen. The ladies have worked very hard for it and tonight was not an exception.

Smooth sailing for Lady Bulldog MB Hannah Fort as she
throws this lightning bolt on the other side of the net!



In this 3rd and final set, the DAWGS led from the start at 2-0 then blew things wide open when they went ahead at 12-7 with a big boomer from Kelli Stewart which sparked her team mates to jam the Tigers with 5 more straight points and have them firmly in their death grip at 17-7. After a Hannah Fort kill at 18-8, Coach J "let the dawgs out" and immediately Mandi Gray, Jamie Kaleh, Ashlynn Newman, and Kati Michael came onto the court ready to tear into some Tiger meat! They wasted little time as Mandi had a kill at 21-10, Jamie at 23-11, and a final assist from Kati Michael put the game behind them at 25-16; bragging rights for the next year; a firm hold on the lead in District 15-5A; and a boost of confidence as the ladies gear up and get ready to go to college.......College Park that is..........this Freaky Friday night, the 13th. Once again, we need our Bulldog family of fans to continue supporting the ladies as they march towards the state playoffs! We'll see you there!


In other District 15-5A action tonight: The Woodlands swept Oak Ridge in 3 (25-19, 25-19, 25-23) behind The Woodlands' (17-12, 5-1) — Kristen Martell 11 kills, and Oak Ridge's (13-13, 3-3) — Nicole Bowden had 12.

LET'S KEEP 'EM ROLLING, DAWGS !!!
