The Lady Cats volleyball team fought all the way to the finish but fell just short of victory in a five set thrilling game in Hallsville.
Even though the Hallsville Lady Cats stormed out to a 10-2 lead, it did not matter as Coach Bailey Dorner’s squad came back for a come-from-behind, 25-19 set one win.
Hallsville then turned around and cruised to a 25-14 set two victory.
The home Lady Cats then took another set, 25-22 to put Sulphur Springs in danger of losing the game trailing at two sets to one.
Coach Dorner’s team did what they do best when down; they fought back with their backs against the wall and responded with a huge 25-23 set four victory to push the game to a fifth set.
Set five proved to be another back-and-fourth affair.
The deciding set tied eight times, with the final tie coming at 13-all.
Hallsville would then go on to score two straight and win the fifth set and match, 3-2.
Sulphur Springs fought all the way until the very end.
When down 2-1 they could have folded and lost to Hallsville in four, instead, they persevered and lost an extremely close match to a talented Hallsville Lady Cats team.
The loss drops the Lady Cats volleyball team’s season record to 17-11 (3-2 district).
The Tuesday night loss in Hallsville also snaps Sulphur Springs’ two game winning streak.
