Tuesday’s District 4-5A clash between the Wylie and Lubbock Cooper volleyball teams had everything you could want from a match of that magnitude ā a large and rowdy crowd, outstanding efforts on both sides of the net and a thrilling finish.
The only thing missing at the end of five sets of nonstop action at Bulldog Gym was a Lady Bulldog victory.
Hosting the Lady Pirates with a share of the district lead on the line, Wylie fell just short in an 18-25, 27-25, 25-23, 23-25, 15-13 classic. But after the match, Lady Bulldogs coach Shay Cox had nothing but praise for the way her squad competed.
