Sweep spot: Wakeland blows past McKinney North

BY Chris O’Dell, codell@starlocalnews.com
MCKINNEY – The Wakeland volleyball team had no trouble establishing its intentions during the first set of Monday night’s match at McKinney North.

The Lady Wolverines jumped out to a 19-9 lead during the opening set before eventually earning a 25-12 victory and ultimately a straight set-sweep (25-12, 25-21, 25-20) of the Lady Bulldogs.

“We’re in a situation right now where we are playing so much that we have very little practice time,” said Kim Watson, Wakeland head coach. “We’re having to fix things on the fly, but I’m very happy with how we’re playing right now.”

Tripucka selected for All-American game

Long touted by scouts as one of the top punters in the nation, Allen senior Shane Tripucka solidified that status Tuesday as he was selected for the 2013 Under Armour High School All-American game.


"This is a huge honor," said Chris Tripucka, Shane's father, "and as you can imagine, Shane is quite excited."

The game will take place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. in January.

Tripucka received the call from ESPN just before traveling to Lubbock to visit Texas Tech. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound punter, recently named a 4.5-star prospect by Chris Sailer Kicking, is still seeking out where to continue his career in college.
