As the volleyball team starts their season again, they look to further their success from last year’s area championship run. The Tigers fell short in the quarter regionals round against Abilene High School in three sets.
Returning players are looking to build on that success this season. The Tigers are currently 15-7 as they approach district play.
One player to keep an eye on is sophomore Angelina Castro, a returning varsity member.
