9/11 at Concordia Lutheran • LOSS
From Coach Ray Hedden: The Dragons went 0-2 this week losing in straight sets to Concordia. We struggled with the important aspects of the game that we are normally great at. I definitely shoulder the loss as I don't think we were as prepared as we could have been.
9/15 vs. Conroe High School • LOSS
From Coach Ray Hedden: The Dragons also dropped a tough fight to a very athletic Conroe High School, losing in four sets. Our defense lacked intensity and we did not play our usual game. It was a great fight and will help us this week as we work to shore up our weaknesses!
