A Look Back
Last season, the Decatur Lady Eagles posted an incredible 12-0 district record (37-8 overall) to finish at the top of their district. The team dropped only 21 sets against their opponents through the entire season and fought hard in playoffs to secure their second-straight state title.
After working their way through regular season play, the Lady Eagles entered playoffs strong- ready to shut down all of their opponents. Decatur defeated Fort Worth Western Hills, Glen Rose, Krum, Hereford, Argyle, and Bellville en route to the championship match. It was DFW against DFW, though as Decatur faced-off against a tough Celina program. Ultimately, Decatur posted a 3-0 shutout to take home the title.
Looking Ahead
The team is a strong team that can build off of their success each season. With two consecutive championships under their belts, the Lady Eagles are going to strive for a third and fight until they have everything they want. With their preseason schedule set to begin against an incredibly strong Brock team followed by Stephenville, the team is set for a great return.
What To Expect
Fans can expect Decatur to play hard against their opponents and find their way deep in playoffs- if not another return to the state championships. Decatur is a force to be reckoned with and won't slow down in the fall.
The Lady Eagles celebrate their 2020 state championship
Decatur caps off remarkable season with a 4A volleyball state title
After missing the state tournament in the 2019 season, the Decatur Eagles were determined to not let it happen again. Mission accomplished.
Decatur won the UIL 4A Volleyball Championship Match with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-12, 25-19) sweep over Wimberley at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.
There was never any doubt about whether or not Decatur would win it all in the 2020-2021 season for the Eagles fans. Decatur posted a remarkable season, losing only one match in non-district play and completing district play undefeated earning their No. 1 ranking in Texas Conference 4A well before the state tournament.
Wimberley scored the first point of set 1, but Decatur made sure to show their strength and grit answering back with seven unanswered points. It wasn't long before the Eagles pulled away for a 25-13 victory. The second set saw much of the same from a demanding Decatur offense. With a shining performance in set 2, the Eagles won 25-12. The third and final set was a much more physical set as Wimberley refused to go down easily. Trinity Vinzant secured the 25-19 Decatur win for the title with back-to-back kills.
Decatur's Jentry Lamirand was named the Match MVP after helping lead Decatur to the victory. Lamirand had 14 kills, four digs, four blocks, and scored 16 points for the Eagles.
The Eagles returned to Decatur to a welcoming fan base ready to continue cheering on their 2020 State Champions.
