2: Area teams to earn a spot in Prep Volleyball’s final national ranking. O’Connor, which this season advanced to the UIL Class 6A state tournament for the first time, was 30th.

11: Area athletes selected to play in the Texas Association of Volleyball Coaches All-Star matches May 19 in San Antonio.

Navarro’s Bailey Wozniak and Devine’s Addie Trojanowski and Makenna Morales were picked to compete in the 4A-2A match.
O’Connor’s Yami Garcia was tabbed as an assistant coach for the 6A competition.
