Dilley's volleyball team lost 3-0 to the Johnson City Eagles in a bi-district playoff match in Bandera on Thursday, October 26. The scores were 25-11, 25-4 and 25-10. It was Dilley's first playoff appearance in seven years. The Eagles are the 29-2A district champion.
Dilley Head Coach Shandi Rios said the experience would help her young players. She said Johnson City is ranked 11th in the state and that her team played with heart and never backed down. Dilley finished the season 15-14 overall and 5-5 for third place in District 30-2A, a seven-game improvement from a year ago.
Rios said the coaches want wins but also value growth, determination and character. "This is only the beginning for this young group," she said.
