The Bandera volleyball team battled a pair of tough teams last week, falling in straight sets to TMI before taking Ingram to four sets and falling 3-1.

Taytum Moeller finished with 17 digs and two assists, Kinlee Lawlis had nine digs, seven kills and two aces, Ally Kline had 10 assists, three aces and two digs, and Jayla Blake finished with seven kills and two digs for Bandera.
The Bulldogs then traveled to Ingram on Friday to take on the Lady Warriors, who are ranked No. 25 in the state at the Class 3A level. Ingram took the first two sets 25-17, 25-17, but Bandera responded with a 25-23 win in the third to extend the match. The Bulldogs pushed Ingram in set four, but ultimately fell 20-25.
Blake had 13 kills, five digs and one block, Kline had 29 assists, 11 digs and one block, Lawlis had 13 digs, 12 kills, three aces and one block, Taylor Hamilton had four digs, four kills, two blocks and one ace and Moeller finished with 12 digs.

“The team played aggressive to the very last point,” Head Coach Tisha Pettibon said. “We were very proud of the fight at the end of sets. We’re still looking to improve on our system of play and communication as we move closer to our district opener. Our goal is to be playing smart and aggressive at the end of sets, and we felt like we accomplished that at Ingram.”
