Tuesday, Sept. 25, the Lady Panthers will host the Kaufman Lady Lions in another key first-round contest, and then will host the Ferris Lady Yellowjackets Friday, Sept. 28.
Next Tuesday, Oct. 2, Mabank will visit Eustace. All evenings open with 4:30 p.m. sub-varsity matches.
At Tyler Tuesday, the Lee Lady Raiders opened with a 25-21 win in the first game, but the Lady Panthers came back to win the second game 25-14.
Lee took the third game 25-22, but Mabank forced a deciding fifth game with a 25-22 win.
In the fifth game, Lee secured the match with a 15-10 victory.
“This was a very good match with two pretty evenly matched teams. Their passes were a little better than ours,” Mabank head coach Stacy Shelton reported.
“We played without our other left-side hitter (Hali Schultz, out with illness), so we had to make adjustments by moving (Bridgette) Tanner to the left-side hitter and (Ashley) Corter to the right side,” Shelton said. “The team adjusted and played very hard.”
Tanner and Miranda Groom led the Mabank offense, with Groom notching 31 kills, four blocks, 12 digs and one serving ace, while Tanner had 21 kills, one block and 13 digs.
Setter Kelsi Reynolds had 52 assists and seven digs in the match, while Corter had three kills, two blocks and one dig.
On defense, Macey Thomas had five blocks, two kills and two digs, while Haley Brackenridge had eight blocks, one kill and one dig.
Katie Cross had 10 digs and one save, while Kelsie Busby added four digs.
