PREVIEW: Prestonwood Christian Academy Volleyball kicks off a great season
Reigning TAPPS Volleyball State Champions, Prestonwood Christian Academy, can be expected to fly high this season against their opponents. Topping the Private School volleyball preseason rankings for VYPE DFW, the Lady Lions are prepared to be the best on the court for another season.
REWIND
Last season, the team dropped only 10 sets combined against their opponents while posting an incredible 98% win percentage throughout the entire season. Losing only one hard-fought match to a touch San Antonio Christian Academy team during preseason play, the Lady Lions learned from every weakness and strength on the court.
With a 41-1 overall record, a 12-0 undefeated district record, a 28-game win streak, and a state title to their name, it’s no wonder the Lady Lions can be expected to post another incredible season.
LOOKING AHEAD
Returning most of its team, Prestonwood Christian Academy is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the private school volleyball world. Facing a tough preseason schedule against UIL schools like brand new Prosper Walnut Grove, the team has already posted big victories over the likes of Frisco's Legacy Christian Academy (3-0), Prosper's Walnut Grove (3-0), Plano West (3-2), and more ensuring that they are more than prepared for their TAPPS schedule.
Using the preseason to gear up will prove to be beneficial as they face a district schedule against the likes of Parish Episcopal, Ursuline, Bishop Lynch, Fort Worth Nolan Catholic, and more. With so many returners, Prestonwood Christian looks like they are a strong candidate for a state title repeat! Be sure you catch the rest of their preseason games before district play beginning in October.

A Look Back
Last season the Lady Lions opened with a hot 15 game win-streak against their opponents in preseason play. The team was able to focus and come into each game with clear heads and the ability to secure victory after victory. Posting a 9-1 district record with huge victories over the likes of Trinity Christian Academy - Addison, Parish Episcopal, Ursuline, Bishop Lynch, and more, the team was able to finish at the top of their district and prepare themselves for a strong playoff run.
In playoffs, the team took down St. Pius, Bishop Lynch, and Argyle Liberty Christian before eventually falling in the state title game against Houston's St. Agnes Academy.
Looking Forward
Last year's young team looks to bring back a lot of key performers. Jadyn Livings, Mikala Young, Nicole Foster, Sloan Cleveland, and Camille Edwards all look to make their presence known on the court this season. With so many key returners making an effort to push forward and continue their streak of excellency, there's no doubt that Prestonwood has what it takes to post another incredible season!
What To Expect
Fans can expect a short regrouping time from this squad as they come into summer workouts, but it won't take long for the team to get steady on their feet. If you thought they started strong last year, expect bigger and better this year. The team has had a taste of getting far in playoffs and they are going to be hungry for more wins. Expect big things coming out of the Lady Lions this season as they work for a state title!
