Plano East Volleyball has entered the chat
The Plano East Lady Panthers volleyball team has been making waves this season and putting themselves on the map. With focus, drive, and resiliency, the team has been able to power through their regular season schedule and showcase tremendous talent on the court. VYPE DFW dives into their season.
Non-District
Opening their season with four sweeps over Dallas Wilson, Carthage, Mesquite Horn, and Frisco Emerson set the tone for the rest of their non-district play. With statement victories over plenty of tough opponents, the Lady Panthers defeated Frisco Lone Star, Sachse, Lake Highlands, Argyle Liberty Christian, Sunnyvale, Frisco Memorial, and more. Finishing non-district play with an 18-9 overall record set the team up with the confidence necessary to face-off against their tough district schedule.
District Play
Led by talent like Lauryn Lambert, Ashby Daniel, Simone Heard, Megan Nguyen, Emma Reeves, Raegan Brown, Lucy Dieterlen, and more, the team was able to remain focused on their goal throughout their district schedule. Having only lost two district matches so far this season, the team has outscored their district opponents 28-9 in sets. Seven of their 12 district games have been shutouts while downing the likes of Plano, Hebron, Flower Mound Marcus, Coppell, Plano West, and more.
With only two games left in regular season play-- one against Lewisville on Friday and one against Flower Mound Marcus on 10/24-- the Lady Panthers look to finish their regular season on a high note. The team is second-place in their district standings right now-- just being Flower Mound who is also 10-2 in district play.
Be sure you catch these ladies in action before the regular season is over.
Plano West gears up for last leg before the playoffs
With just a handful of games to go before the playoffs begin, Plano West is working hard to improve their record in district battles against tough opponents. Following a first-place finish in their district standings last year and a playoff appearance that ended in a battle against Prosper in which Plano West was sent home, the Lady Wolves are on a mission to finish strong this season. VYPE DFW takes a look at the team so far:
So Far
The team opened their season strong with a couple of victories over South Grand Prairie and Allen. Fighting hard through non-district play, the Lady Wolves already had an impressive overall record before even entering district play (15-3). Plano West secured incredible victories over non-district opponents like Keller, Highland Park, McKinney, McKinney North, McKinney Boyd, Hockaday, and more while allowing only 18 sets to be won against them and winning 43 sets of their own.
Plano West opened up district play on the road with a sweep in sets over Coppell (3-0) before also taking down Plano, Lewisville, and Flower Mound Marcus in the same fashion. The team's only two losses in district play have come against Plano East and their second matchup against Plano.
Led by the likes of Kate Mansfield, Aajaylah Zeno, Kaitlyn Brewer, Blaire Bowers, Reese Poerner, Katlyn Vo, Ella Willenborg, and others, this Lady Wolves squad has shown resiliency and strength each time they have made an appearance on the court
What's Ahead
As the team currently sits in the second-place spot in their district standings-- just behind Plano East-- they gear up to face off against Flower Mound Marcus on 10/13 on the road. Then, the team will take on Plano East on the road with the determination to bounce back from their previous meeting and secure a victory. From there, the Lady Wolves take on Hebron before closing out district play at home against Flower Mound.
Fans can expect the Lady Wolves to remain focused. Driven and ready to play strong against the rest of their district opponents, Plano West is a strong competitor that can enter playoffs with impactful victories. Be sure you catch this team in action through the rest of district play.
