Crystal City -- Hondo volleyball picked up its most important victory of the season on Tuesday, Oct. 1, when they came away with a five-set road win over Crystal City. The Lady Javelinas entered the match unbeaten in District 28-3A play.
The Owls dropped the opening set by a lot, but came back unrattled to win sets 2, 4 and 5 to head home with a 15-25, 27-25, 28-30, 25-20, 15-12 victory.
Hondo also took care of business in a hurry on Friday, Sept. 27, on the home floor, with a dominating 25-9, 25-5, 25-12 win over Poteet.
Winners of three straight district matches, the Owls have now pulled themselves back into the mix for the district lead. Hondo is 24-6 on the season, 4-2 in district, now within one game of the league lead.
This week, the Owls will visit Dilley for a 4:30 p.m. varsity-only match on Friday, and will travel to Jourdanton to begin the second half of the district schedule on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Jourdanton defeated the Owls in Hondo to open league play three weeks ago.
