LADY LEOPARDS TAKE 2ND IN ASC TOURNEY

Class 5A state runner-up Lovejoy began its 2019 campaign on a productive note, going 4-2 and placing second overall at the Nike ASC/LISD Classic, held at the Advantage Sports Complex in Carrollton. The Lady Leopards turned away challenges from Fort Worth Paschal (25-15, 25-20) and John Paul II (25-13, 25-14) during pool play before picking up bracket wins on Saturday over Plano Senior (24-26, 25-18, 25-19) and Frisco Wakeland (25-13, 25-18). The program’s two losses both came to Plano West, ranked. No. 2 in the state among 6A programs by the Texas Girls Coaches Association, including a two-set verdict in the championship match (25-14, 25-21). Sophomore Averi Carlson was named the tournament’s top setter, while junior Cecily Bramschreiber earned an all-tournament nod for the Lady Leopards. Lovejoy continued its winning ways on Tuesday with a non-district victory over Southlake Carroll (25-20, 27-25, 25-23) to lead into this weekend’s swim through the Northwest ISD Volleyball Classic. The Lady Leopards open at 10 a.m. Friday against host Justin Northwest, followed by pool matches later in the day against Dumas (noon) and Cedar Park (3 p.m.).
