Another volleyball season produced a playoff berth for veteran HC Shauna Steinmetz at Class 2A Italy High School.

District 11-4A proved a bit stout for a Ferris volleyball team who had power but came up short in the passing game.

Avalon had some impressive wins, including a pair of 3-1 wins over Italy, before finishing second in District 15-1A to Blum (30-6).

Todd Alexander, the head coach at Waxahachie for three years, stepped down on Thursday, Jan. 7, according to a statement from the Waxahachie ISD. The decision was on his terms and without a trace of ill will.

It’s been years since Ennis finished on the top side of Midlothian in hoops. Tuesday’s 44-43 squeaker was as rare as the player who decided the game at the free throw line.
