Texas Girls Coaches Association
State Volleyball Poll

September 6 , 2011

The Center Lady Rider volleyball team hoped Tuesday's home opener against Timpson would continue the flashes of improved play that the team showed at the Attack at Nac tournament last weekend.

But the Lady Bears moved out to an early lead and then secured a 3-1 match win over the Lady Riders at Roughrider Gymnasium Tuesday night. Timpson won the first two games, 25-21, 25-19, before Center came back to record a 25-16 victory in Game 3.

It hasn't been the strongest of starts to the 2011 season for the Timpson Lady Bear volleyball team, but it's still early and there is time before the District 20-1A chase begins on Friday, Sept.9.

Timpson will enter bracket play Saturday at the Groveton Tournament with a 3-7 season mark under second-year coach Tori Neugebauer. The Lady Bears, who are coming off a 7-23 campaign last year, is looking to get on track after posting a 1-2 record during pool play at Groveton on Thursday.

Panola College officially kicked off the summer last week with beginning of the Summer I Classes and the beginning of summer camps with the Panola College Baseball Camp.

The Panola Baseball Camp has traditionally kicked off the summer camps at Panola College for the last 20 years during the first week of June.

This year nearly 50 young baseball players from around East Texas enjoyed the camp, according to Don Clinton, Vice President of Student Services.
