VYPE U Behind the Lens: George Ranch Battles Against Ridge Point for the 20-6A District Title
24 Nov, 2020
No. 1 Alex Tennon (12) and her team filled with true happiness after winning the fourth set of the match which ended up tieing the two teams.
Olivia Raymond
Due to a tie for the 20-6A District Title between George Ranch and Fort Bend Ridge Point, the two schools once again battled for the top spot in the district. The game was very intense, and despite the hard work our Longhorns put forth, the Lady Longhorns were shy of a win with a final score of 3-2.
<p> Our Lady Longhorns finished their 2020 District Season with a 13 district win, 1 district loss, and a grand total of 19 wins, and 4 losses (Pre-districts, and districts combined). The Lady Panthers concluded their District season with a final total of 15 wins and 7 losses, and 13 district wins and 1 loss. </p><p> Check out pics from the game below!<br><br></p>

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.
