The Lady Cats played against Paris in a warm-up game Friday, Nov. 1 at Sulphur Springs High School.
“We won 20-25, 25-18 and 25-20. We played well, and the girls are starting to use strategy and see the floor better. I feel good about Tuesday. If we play well, we should be okay,” said Bailey Dorner, Lady Cats first year head volleyball coach.
Hallsville is 30-12 for the season. The Lady Bobcats ended the regular season with 13 consecutive district victories.
