Saturday, in the Argyle Tournament, Kennedale had to play with heart and soul to take a win from Grandview. Games don?t often go to five sets but this one did.

 

In a back and forth series, Grandview started strong winning the first set 25-18. The Lady Kats bounced back, winning the next one 25-13. The Lady Zebras, not finished yet, won the 3rd set 25-21. Kennedale had to win the next one and the Kats did, 25-17 sending the tied game into a fifth and deciding set. The Lady Kats never let the Lady Zebras see light, winning 15-5.

 

Then in a non-district match on Tuesday night, the Kennedale volleyball team was up against the Grandview team once again, winning this one in four.

 

The Lady Zebras put on a show in the first set winning 25-9 but the Lady Kats were not walking away from this one. They stormed back taking the next two, 25-18 and 25-15. In the final set, Kennedale fought off the Grandview team and won in extra play 26-24.

The Argyle tournament was the last varsity tournament for the season but the Lady Kats still has some tough matches coming up @ Sequin (Sept 9), @ Kaufman (Sept 12) and two old foes, @Lake Worth (Sept 16) and home against Castleberry (Sept 19).
