A Look Back
When the season was uncertain, the Lady Warriors never feared. Finishing their district as one of the top teams, they went into playoffs poised and ready to take down any opponent that stood in their way of a state title. One by one, Liberty Christian downed their opponents before facing off against former reigning champion St. Agnes. In an all-out battle to be the best in the state, Liberty Christian held strong and won the championship game.
The championship game was only their third appearance in the state tournament and their second title since winning in 2006. In their only other appearance, Liberty Christian finished as the state runner-up in 2007. Defeating St. Agnes in 2020 was huge for the Lady Warriors as St. Agnes holds the TAPPS records not only for most state titles, but also for most state tournament appearances!LCS

Looking Forward
The Lady Warriors can be expected to come into the new season strong. Although the team lost quite a bit of graduating seniors last year, the leadership in the new upperclassmen will prove to be what helps the newcomers and underclassmen maintain their composure as they begin the season.
After a bit of a rebuild in early games, fans should expect Liberty Christian to find the groove meant for them as they continue on towards trying to harness another appearance in the state tournament... and possibly another state title to add to their belt!

Senior 5-foot-11 outside hitter/defensive specialist Paris Herrman (3.2 kills per set) and junior 6-foot outside hitter Cindy Tchouangwa (3.1 kills per set) lead a potent attack that also includes junior 6-foot-1 outside hitter Ella Folse and junior 5-foot-9 outside hitter/middle Katy Lopez as emerging playmakers.
Herrman is Tompkins' dynamic do-it-all. She led the team in aces with 34 and averaged 3.2 digs per set to go along with her dominant swings.
Though the Falcons graduated key defensive specialists, Herrman, senior Cassidy Karonka and Tchouangwa are enough to step in.
The Falcons will need Karonka and junior Presley Powell to step up at setter. Also keep an eye on junior 5-foot-11 outside hitter Tendai Titley.
