DISTRICT 11-5A VOLLEYBALL: Rowlett wins a pair of matches to stay on Naaman Forest's heels
SUB: Rangers top Sachse to solidify spot atop district standings
CUTLINE: Rowlett shook off an earlier loss to Naaman Forest to win a pair of matches this week to remain in second place
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
The Eagles know, however, that goal cannot be accomplished in one night.
So after an earlier loss to Naaman Forest put them in chasing mode, Rowlett continued to do what it needed to this past week to keep pace with the Rangers and keep that goal of an 11-5A title within reach.
The Eagles picked up a sweep of South Garland on Tuesday and a 25-14, 25-10, 25-23 victory over Lakeview on Friday to improve to 5-1 in district play.
That puts Rowlett a half-game behind Naaman Forest, which continued its impressive start to 11-5A play with a pair of victories to improve to 5-0.
Not only did the Rangers take down Lakeview in three games on Tuesday, they also picked up a key 25-18, 25-16, 25-22 win over Sachse on Friday.
The Mustangs are still in sole possession of third place after rebounding nicely on Tuesday with a 25-22, 25-16, 25-19 victory over Garland.
Sachse currently stands at 3-2, which is good enough for a one-game lead over both Lakeview and the Owls.
The Mustangs will conclude the first half of the district season on Friday when they host winless North Garland.
Sachse will then have a bye on the opening round of the second half on Tuesday.
Rowlett has its bye on Friday and should be well-rested for a showdown on Tuesday when it hosts Naaman Forest.
The Rangers will try to complete a perfect run through the first half of district ply on Friday at South Garland.
In another important match, Lakeview will travel to play at Garland on Friday with the winner taking over sole possession of fourth place.
