Monitor Staff Reports
EUSTACE–Playing without senior starter Harmony Allen, the Eustace Lady Bulldogs didn’t have quite enough firepower to overcome third-ranked Leon, and fell to the visiting Lady Cougars, 3-1, Friday night.
Now 26-7 on the season, the Lady Bulldogs finished the first round of District 14-2A volleyball play at 5-1. Eustace had a second-round bye Tuesday night, and will resume play on the road Friday, Oct. 8, at Mildred.
Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Lady Bulldogs will host the Buffalo Lady Bison, and then will travel to Malakoff Friday, Oct. 15.
A fairly large and partisan crowd witnessed an impressive volleyball clinic, as both teams posted accurate serves, thunderous hits/blocks at the net and lengthy rallies for most points.

Eustace Lady Bulldog seniors Vanessa Lopez (14) and Allie Cass (2) go up to block a hit by Leon's Shelby Stanford (2, center) during the third game of Eustace's 3-1 loss to the visiting Lady Cougars Friday.
The Lady Cougars showed why they are so highly ranked with their strong defense, giving them the ability to match almost every Eustace hit with a dig, followed by soft sets from Allison Carrigan to hitter Shelby Stanford.
Leon handed the Lady Bulldogs their first loss in district play with a 25-20 win in game one.
The Lady Bulldogs came back to win the second game, 25-21, setting the stage for two more games, which Leon won by identical 25-20 scores.
Already without Allen, the Lady Bulldogs got a relatively quiet match from junior Catania Grant, still nursing a sore shoulder, who had nine kills, four blocks and five digs.
Senior Allison Cass led the Eustace attack, racking up 23 kills and adding six blocks and one dig. Classmate Vanessa Lopez added four kills and four blocks, along with nine digs on defense.
Senior setter Shelley Temple posted her usual solid performance, notching 37 assists, with two blocks and one dig.
Bethany Strickland (two) and Kacie Richards (one) combined for three kills, while Richards added four blocks and two digs, and Strickland had two blocks and two digs.
Defensively, the Lady Bulldogs got single digs from both Shelby Stegent and Kayla Ward.
