DAWGS Too Much in the Third

The Del Valle fans kept an eye on a kill shot launched

by Courtney Felinski that richoceted off the Lady

Cardinals and may have not returned to earth, yet.

The Lady Bulldogs powered their way to a sweep (25-18, 25-7, and 25-12) over the Del Valle Lady Cardinals as they opened their bi-district play with another impressive opening run.

In this final set, the DAWGS jumped the fence without looking back and scampered to 7 unanswered points in this final set. The DAWGS jumped on the Cards utilizing a multitude of weapons with setter Paige Holland opening the scoring with a dink at 1-0; followed by a Meagan Little ace serve at 2-0; topped off by a Kelli Stewart 'tip and kill' at 3 and 4-0; then iced off by a trio of kills generated by Courtney Felinski at 5-0, 6-0, and 7-0. The DAWGS stayed far enough out front behind a mid-game flurry out of Katzy Randall, with blasts at 16-4, 17-5, and 18-5; and another merciless and explosive kill out of Meagan Little at 19-5; to set up the audio file below which picks up the action as the Lady Cardinals have tightened the game up a bit at 20-10 and are rallying to get back into the match:

Several 'Believers', indeed! Kelli Stewart and Courtney

Felinski rejected this Lady Cardinal attack, as Hannah

Davies covered their backs.

The DAWGS again were led by Kelli Stewart who (tar and) feathered the Lady Cardinals for 16 kills, 10 digs, and one block assist; with senior Meagan Little who scattered the Birds with 9 kills and 4 ace serves; with sophomore Katzy Randall who had 6 kills, 13 digs, one solo and one combo block; followed closely by MB Courtney Felinski who had 5 kills with one solo and 2 combo blocks; OHR senior Breane Matula who hammered 4 kills on the right; and with a kill from setter Paige Holland - who also had 9 digs, 1 solo block, 2 aces, to go along with her impressive performance dishing out 36 assists. Defensively, Hannah Davies had 13 digs while Angi Gould contributed another solid outing with 6 digs.

The DAWGS have taken their first step and will be looking forward to facing the Lady Cougars from Crosby who defeated Nederland in their match (25-18, 25-14, 25-19). The team will play Friday night, Nov. 7, vs. Crosby at New Caney High School at 5:30 pm.

GO LADY BULLDOGS!!!
