HS Volleyball: College Park Secures Final Playoff Spot

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Willis Wildkats and College Park Lady Cavaliers met at Oak Ridge which would be the neutral location of the 4th place tiebreaker for the 2022 playoff spot.

In the first set, Willis would take a quick 4-0 lead and maintain the momentum throughout the set. College Park would end up tying the score up but Willis came to play and would take the lead late in the set. Although down College Park would make one last surge and take the lead and win the close set 25-22.

College Park didn’t start off on the right foot but was able to come back in the end. As for the second set, the teams would go point for point exchanging the lead multiple times. Coach Collins’ nerves were on edge but could be heard saying “I love these games.”

She would further explain, “I love the excitement and the intensity, it does make me nervous but I think that as coaches, this is what we live for.”

Willis would test the College Park defense with a couple of missiles over the net but in the end the Lady Cavaliers would take the lead and win their second set in a row.
