8th Grade A Team
Your Lady Bulldogs traveled to Uvalde Monday and in an exciting night of volleyball defeated the Lady Lobos in two sets, 25-21 and 26-24. During our bi-week, the girls were pushed to work hard on their defense and showcase their ability to be a strong team with communication and heart. I am extremely proud of their growth and individual contributions to this big win!!! We are back to the grit and working to take on the Fillies at our season closer against Devine, Monday, October 28th here in Bandera. We hope to see you there!

8th Grade B Team
The 8th grade B team lost to Uvalde, 25 to 9 and 26 to 24. The Lady Dogs struggled from the serving line in the first game but recovered in the second game behind Makensie Clay. Grace Walker and Makayla Clay led defense with on-target passing while Sophia Chapa got the first block of the season. This loss brings the 8th grade B team's record to 6 wins and 2 losses.
7th Grade A Team
In an exhilarating display of athleticism and teamwork, 7th grade A team secured a decisive victory, winning their match in three sets (19-25, 25-20, 15-13). From the first serve to the final whistle, the team showcased their superior skills, proving their dominance on both offense and defense. We overcame adversity on the court with losing the first game and the noise in the gym. We have grown to be mentally tough in close situations and I am so proud of them for that. Relentless Effort has been spread throughout our 7th graders and they were able to make the adjustments needed in the first game. We have been on our redemption tour the second half of play and Bandera is a force to be reckoned with. Our last game will be against Devine on Monday at Home. Serving Aces: Colbie LaLanne: 12, Brenna Bryd: 11, Hailee Feller: 10, Harper Hartsfield: 4, Karina Young: 3, Harper Hicks: 1, Emily Short: 1 Digs: Brenna Bryd: 10, Harper Hartsfield: 10, Colbie LaLanne: 8, Karina Young 5, Harper Hicks: 5, Natalie Hauer: 5, Emily Short: 1, Josey Vollmer: 1, Hannah Lehman: 1
7th Grade B Team
The 7th grade B team traveled to Uvalde yesterday to compete in their last away game of the season. After falling short in the first set, the team rallied together by communicating with each other, better passing, and strong serving to force a third set. We had strong serving by Emma Spofford, Nataley Guel, and Vanessa Gonzales. Although the girls worked well together, it ultimately wasn't enough to secure the win. We will continue working and preparing for our last game of the season against Devine, on October 28th.
