GARLAND — The Schulenburg High School volleyball team fell to Iola High School in the semifinal round of the UIL State Volleyball Tournament Nov. 15 at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland by a fi nal score of 19-25, 20-25, 25-19, 2225. As this game was pretty evenly matched, Iola found ways to put the ball down and produce a little more offense in order to come out with the win. “I think Iola being as good as they are, they make it hard for you to settle in,” said Schulenburg head volleyball coach Donald Zapalac.
“We wanted to make sure we played the way we’re capable of playing our game. Pass the ball a little better, get some quality hitters involved, but Iola makes that really tough.”
Senior libero Kieryn Adams put up a state-record 41 digs for the match, breaking the record of not just 2A, but all six classifications.
