Bandera’s combination of relentless defense, aggressive serving and timely attacks has the Lady Bulldogs playing with confidence and proving that they are willing to fight for every ball and every point on every play.
The Lady Bulldogs will look to make it eight straight when they return home Monday to take on Hunt at 6 p.m. Bandera will look to carry the same energy, relentless defense and aggressive play into the matchup as the Bulldogs continue their strong run.
8th Grade B Team
Bandera put together one of its strongest performances of the season, defeating Ingram in straight sets, 25–13 and 25–18. The Bulldogs showed tremendous growth from their first meeting with Ingram, playing with more confidence, consistency, and energy from beginning to end.
Serving was a major difference in the match. Maddie Anderwald delivered an incredible run in the first set, staying behind the service line for 12 straight points and helping Bandera take complete control of the set. In the second set, Emma Grant provided another big spark, serving for five straight points to help the Bulldogs create separation and finish the sweep.
The win was a complete team effort. Lilly Garcia continued to provide an important attacking option on the right side, while Presley Binnert and Hailey Perry gave Bandera a strong presence in the middle. Evie Rodriguez helped provide stability defensively, and the setters did a good job giving the hitters opportunities when Bandera controlled the first contact.
What stood out most was how well the girls played together. Instead of allowing mistakes or opponent points to turn into long runs, Bandera responded, stayed aggressive, and created scoring runs of its own. After falling to Ingram in the first meeting, coming back to win 25–13, 25–18 shows just how much this team has grown.
This was more than a win—it was a glimpse of what Bandera can look like when everyone comes together and plays as a team.
