Cowgirls face Nordheim in round 1 of playoffs
Utopia -- Wrapping up the District 30-A volleyball schedule on Friday, Oct. 24, the D’Hanis Cowgirls came up on the short end of a four-set loss to Utopia.
The Lady Buffs won the match, 25-17, 25-9, 20-25, 25-17, to claim the outright championship in the district.
The Cowgirls finish league play with a mark of 6-2, and a 14-19 record overall.
Three teams advance from 1A districts to the postseason. Medina is the third-place entry from 30-A.
D’Hanis will face Nordheim, the #3 finisher from 29-A, in the bi-district playoff round. They’ll play Thursday, Oct. 30, at Pleasanton High School, starting at 7:30.
The D’Hanis match will be preceded by the Hondo-Marion 3A bi-district playoff at 5:30, but it’s not a doubleheader. A separate admission fee is required for entrance into both matches.
The D’Hanis-Nordheim winner will advance to the area round, where they’ll face McMullen County. The District 31-A champ has a first-round bye.
