VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS: Seven Lakes, Katy advance to Regional Quarters
Nov 24, 2020
KATY – Seven Lakes was not about to relive the disappointment of 2019.
A year after being ousted in the second round in a three-set sweep by eventual Region III Finalist Cy-Fair, the Spartans flipped the script sweeping a Cypress Creek out of the playoffs 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 25-16).
"It's so much fun, it's our senior year and we're leaving it all on the court," Nebraska-signee Ally Batenhorst, who finished with 22 kills and three aces, said. "Do as best we can and it's super fun."

The win improved Seven Lakes to 21-1 on the 2020 campaign and the Spartans move on to face the winner of Cinco Ranch-Cy-Fair in the Regional Quarterfinals later this week.
<p>"Cy Creek is a balanced team and we're excited we're able to advance," Seven Lakes coach Amy Cataline said. "We played really clean today. I'm really proud of how we played."</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">SET 3: <a href="https://twitter.com/7LakesVBnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@7LakesVBnews</a> takes the third set from <a href="https://twitter.com/CyCreekVBall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CyCreekVBall</a> 25-16 to win the match 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 25-16) and move on to the third round. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/txhsvb?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#txhsvb</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/KatyISDAthletic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KatyISDAthletic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/allybatenhorstt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@allybatenhorstt</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/caseyybate?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@caseyybate</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Mayowaolibale?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Mayowaolibale</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/katyisd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@katyisd</a> <a href="https://t.co/FNxk8C3nys">pic.twitter.com/FNxk8C3nys</a><br>— vypehouston (@vypehouston) <a href="https://twitter.com/vypehouston/status/1331028905457840129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div><p>This has been an odd year for Seven Lakes.<br></p><p>Following a 3-1 District 19-6A victory over Katy on October 16, the program had to stop playing games and practicing due to COVID-19. </p><p>On November 7, Seven Lakes started playing again with a doubleheader and would eventually play five matches in the span of a week, going 4-1 in that stretch.

2020 Katy Volleyball Preview: Presented by Athlete Training + Health
Aug 21, 2020
Welcome to the 2020 volleyball season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. No club tournaments to travel to, limited training available but what that means is everyone should be fresh for the 2020 campaign.
VYPE previewed 30 public school teams in this year's VYPE Houston Volleyball Preview. Here is one of the Contenders - the Katy Tigers.
<h4><a href="https://www.shopvype.com/collections/frontpage/products/august-2020-vype-houston-magazine-vype-volleyball-preview-volume-13-number-1" target="_blank">Order Magazine - CLICK HERE</a></h4><h4><a href="https://vypemedia.zenfolio.com/p905363540" target="_blank">Purchase Photos - CLICK HERE</a></h4><h3>Katy Tigers</h3><p>
The Katy Tigers finished second place in a tough District 19-6A with the likes of Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes. The Tigers reached the Regional Quarters before falling to Cy-Fair, 3-1. This could be the year that the Tigers get back to the Regional Semis and beyond for the first time in over a decade. The QB1 for Katy volleyball is Maddie Waak, who was the District Setter MVP in 2019. She has committed to LSU to play her college ball. She will be setting up second-teamer Hannah Hoover (Navy-commit), who also doubles as a libero, and middle blocker Jordan Gamble. The 6-foot-2 star was a first-team selection and could have a breakout season as a junior as she builds her resume as a national recruit. Also adding some offense will be Perris Key, who earned honorable mention accolades as a junior. Key is committed to UT-Rio Grande Valley.
