Volleyball Lions impressive in preseason

From staff reports

New Lockhart High School Head Volleyball Coach Shelly Herzog has had her team scrimmage four times already before the season opened Tuesday evening at Pflugerville Connally.

LHS has faced Elgin, Wimberley, Marble Falls, and San Marcos in scrimmages to start its season.

According to Herzog, the LHS freshmen and junior varsity Lions came out strong, “making their skills known and playing stead. The level of play was great despite only having two team practices following the three days of tryouts.”

In varsity action, Herzog said her Lady Lions “met their competition head-on with a tenacity that showed what they were capable of. Amongst the teams, some tremendous plays were made, skillful saves, and all-around hustle brought to the court over the past few days. These young ladies have set a strong platform of what to expect this season, and our coaching staff could not be more proud.”
LHS plays a Sub-Varsity Tournament at Bastrop on Wednesday and the Lions play in a Varsity Tournament at Wimberly on Thursday and Friday.

Lockhart’s first home volleyball match of the regular season will be Tuesday, Aug. 16 vs. Buda Johnson. The freshmen and JV squads will begin at 5:30 p.m., while the varsity starts at 6:30 p.m.
