District play opens with loss at Devine

 

     Hondo volleyball suffered two losses in the past week, including one in open play in District 28-3A on Tuesday evening, Sept. 8.

    On Friday, Sept. 4, with the non-district schedule winding down, the Owls dropped a road contest to Bandera, 20-25, 25-20, 25-20, 25-18. It was Hondo’s third loss to Bandera this season.

     On Tuesday, beginning district play, the Owls visited Devine, back in the same district with Hondo for the first time since spring of 2022, leaving with a five-set loss to the Arabians. The score was not available at press time. 

     Hondo, now 11-15 on the season (0-1 district) and which has only played at home one time this season (other than the Hondo tourney), will be at home on the next two playing dates.

     The Owls will host D’Hanis on Friday afternoon, Sept. 11, at 4:30 p.m. in their final non-district match of the season. On Tuesday, Sept. 15, they’ll resume district play for the rest of the season, and will face a crucial match with Crystal City, beginning at 6 p.m.
