Volleyball Back in Action After COVID-19
Varsity volleyball Tournament of Champions
September 21, 2020
The Lady Mustangs varsity volleyball team started off the season hosting the eleventh annual Tournament of Champions. The Lady Mustangs finished runner-up in the Gold Bracket consolation championship game.
Typically the tournament is held in the middle of August but due to COVID-19 restrictions, the games were pushed back to the second week of September. Along with the date change other restrictions included one parent per player with no other fans allowed, wear face masks when on the sidelines and the teams that were not playing had to wait outside until their game time. Despite all this, the Lady Mustangs still enjoyed playing. Varsity captain and Baylor commit, Ava Grace Haggard, commented on the tournament saying “I was really proud of how we played this weekend and thought it was a great opening to our season! We definitely know now what our strengths are and have discovered some things we need to work on moving forward into district play.”
To start the tournament on Thursday, September 10, the Lady Mustangs went 3-1 losing only to 6-A district High School Parish. On Saturday, September 12, the Mustangs went 1-2 in the Gold bracket. Losing to Rockwall Heritage and DasCHE. Out of the sixteen teams in the tournament MCA placed sixth. The team kicks off district play on Thursday September 15 against Bishop Dunne at MCA.
