The Lady Hawks may be facing new opponents in the newly designed 15-4A, but thus far the results are still the same, and our Lady Hawks are once again the team to beat. The lady hawks have long been a powerhouse in 4-A volleyball under the direction of Coach Stanfill, Coach Garcia and Coach Porter, and playing a strong pre-district schedule has always been a trademark of the team. The Lady Hawks have won three district games thus far!

The Hawks, fresh off their homecoming victory over Waco University, looked to even up their pre-district record as they took a long trip to Whitehouse to take on another highly ranked opponent - the Whitehouse Wildcats. Wildcat Stadium in its first year turned out to be a home of missed opportunities for our Hawks. From the slick turf to the slick footballs, the Hawks would battle the elements but mostly themselves all night.
