The Clarendon College volleyball team won three of four of their matches, with one home game left in the season. They will host the first place team in their conference, Odessa College, this coming Saturday, October 1.
On the 18th of October, the Lady Bulldogs swept Lamar Community College in three straight matches (25-16, 25-16, 25-16), then swept Frank
Phillips College in three straight matches (25-16, 25-22, 28-26), before falling to New Mexico Military Institute (14-25, 19-25, 24-26). Even though they lost in straight matches, they continually grew stronger during the matches.
Later that afternoon, the Lady Bulldogs rolled over Seminole State College after losing the first match 17-25. They took the next three matches 25-21, 25-21, 25-14.
The Lady Bulldogs travel to Snyder Wednesday, October 29 for a match against Western Texas before returning home for their final match against conference leader Odessa College.
There is a substantial difference between high school sports and college sports, actually a huge difference in skill, speed, athleticism, and team play. Our high school volleyball players and other athletes will learn a lot if they choose to watch this weekend’s match. The Lady Bulldogs are peaking at the right time and are a pleasure to watch. Everyone is encouraged to attend the game, Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m., and watch volleyball played at the highest level in our area.
