Volleyball State Polls
.jpg)
FOOTNOTES:
Jan Barker coaches her tenth state championships, all at Amarillo. Former Amarillo assistant coach Janeen Eudy led Bushland to their second state title while former player and Coach Kori Cooper led Cedar Park to the finals in 5A where they lost to Amarillo.
Lewisville Hebron was defending state champions, won the Texas Invitational but split a pair fo district matches with Southlake Carroll and lost in a playoff for seeding but then beat the Dragons in the regional finals after beating nationally top ranked Waco midway in the Area reground.
Tioga has only played volleyball for five years and beat Bronte for the 1A title. Before you ask, no there will not be a separate 1A poll again next season as UIL will be in the realignment that groups 1A and 2A together as a cost mitigation and reduction of travel times (both very important). THERE WILL BE A 1A STATE PLAYOFF AND STATE TOURNAMENT AND THERE WILL BE A 1A POLL AT THE START OF PLAYOFFS.
There are no upsets at the state tournament, if you a team can play their way to state they deserve it, however, there do remain favorites in contest: Most interesting matches at the state tournament this season:
Goliad over Peaster
Tioga over Bronte
Bushland over Argyle
Lewisville Hebron over Conroe Oak Ridge
Peaster over Jewett Leon
Cedar Park over Lucas Lovejoy
Houston Clear Creek over San Antonio Reagan
Iola over Archer City
Lewisville Hebron over Houston Clear Creek
Amarillo over Cedar Park
Five of the six defending state champions returned but only two, Iola and Lewisville Hebron defended their title.
The only two unbeaten teams entering the state tournament were Jewett Leon and Conroe Oak Ridge (both ended at 46-1) and lost in the semifinals.
Iola went 43-1, lost in poll play and avenged that loss in the same first tournament.
Round Top Carmine has the most appearances in the state tournament followed by Amarillo.
Softball anyone: Weimar and Shiner not only were one-two in district and met in regional finals but those two schools have met in four of the last five state softball regional finals with the winner advancing to win softball state (FYI –the fifth year was won by their district mate Flatonia).
