8th Grade Maroon Fillys continue undefeated streak

Poteet
With their fifth district win of the season, the 8th Grade Maroon Fillys continue their undefeated streak. Poteet put up a defensive challenge and it was a great fight for the Fillys to play against. They won 25-20 and 25-11. “Defensively, Poteet has been the best team we’ve played in the district. Though they rarely set up an offense, their defense picked up much of what we threw at them! Poteet did not block at all which forced all six players to drop back and play defense and they did a great job. But it also hurt them not to have a block on the front row to slow our hits down a bit. In the end, the Filly team just dominated! Great job girls!!” said Coach Shana Beaty.
