Brutal Schedule Continues for Lady Scots

The Highland Park volleyball team has arguably played one of the toughest schedules in the state so far in the young volleyball season. And the Lady Scots certainly won’t get a break this weekend.

In its first six matches of the season, HP (3-4) has taken on four state-ranked teams, including two that were in last year’s Class 5A state tournament.  Although they played all of the ranked teams close, the Lady Scots lost to Lake Highlands (No. 1 in 5A), Austin Westlake (No. 3 in 5A), Plano West (No. 8 in 5A) and Red Oak (No. 4 in 4A).

HP, which is ranked No. 6 in the Texas Girls Coaches Association’s state 4A poll, will face at least one more ranked team in the Justin Northwest Tournament today and Saturday. The Lady Scots play Hereford (No. 3 in 4A) in pool play at 3:15 p.m. Canyon Randall, the state’s top-ranked 4A team, is also in the tourney.
