GIDDINGS — The Flatonia High School volleyball team defeated Thorndale High School Nov. 3 at Giddings ISD by a final score of 25-13, 25-15, 25-18. Flatonia had control of this game from the very start as they didn’t let up and played solid on both sides of the ball.

“Essentially, whenever the environment is hyped and the pressure’s on, I think our girls thrive really good,” said Flatonia head volleyball coach Lauren Hoffman. “We do a lot of pressure situations in practice to prepare for stuff like this so they’re ready to go. Mindset going forward, we’re ready for the next round. Prep starts tomorrow, even tonight, so we’re ready to go.”

Flatonia outside hitter Katelin Sullivan had an impressive game with 21 kills and came up with some big points in clutch situations.
