This was our first game and first win of the season.

Leading the way at the service line, Emma Spofford racked up an outstanding nine aces, while Aspen Collazo added five, June Flowers had six, and Hannah Lehman chipped in with one ace. At the net, both June Flowers and Hannah Lehman recorded a kill apiece, showing the Bulldogs’ ability to attack from multiple spots on the floor.
This was the Bulldogs’ first game of the season, and the energy, effort, and teamwork displayed on the court point to a bright future ahead. The team is ready to keep building momentum as the season continues.
8TH GRADE A TEAM:
Our volleyball girls traveled to Pearsall for our season opener to take on the Lady Dogies. The A Team won in two matches 25-15 and 25-15. After only four practices, these girls came out ready to play. We had hits at the net from Brenna Byrd, Sydney Bowman, Harper Hicks, Haisley Wright, Hailee Feller and Emily Short. Along with excellent sets from Colbie Lalanne and Harper Hartsfield. Serving stand outs were Kaycee Putney with four, Brenna Byrd with four and Colbie Lalanne with six. Harper Hicks, Harper Hartsfield and Mika Gray also contributed with one each. The girls even worked hard on hitting their spot serves. Harper Hicks threw up some hands with two big blocks. Natalie Hauer led in digs with four and assisting her was Karina Young, Harper Hartsfield and Brenna Byrd with three. Colbie Lalanne and Sydney Bowman contributed 1 each.
I am so proud of how these girls played and I can’t wait to watch them grow together. We look forward to taking on the Carrizo Springs Cats, Wednesday, Sept. 3, here in Bandera.
