Three rounds down in the UIL high school volleyball playoffs, and only one team in the DFW area remains: Decatur, which just so happens to ranked No. 1 in the state with a record of 28-1.
But after fending off a pesky challenger in the regional quarterfinals against Argyle - the third sweep this season against the long-time rivals - Decatur goes up against No. 7 Hereford (25-1), which was a state semifinalist a season ago. Decatur is looking to advance and get to the state tournament since winning it all back in 2018.
In a bit of irony, Decatur's head coach, Catherine Foerster, just so happened to coach Hereford to state last year.
Decatur and Hereford square off at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night in Childress.
