BASTROP – Bastrop High School was the site of the annual BISD Classic tournament on Aug. 17-19 as the Lady Bears varsity volleyball team picked up multiple victories last week. Elgin High School and Cedar Creek High School also competed in the tournament.
BASTROP LADY BEARS
The Lady Bears put in work over the weekend as they hosted the BISD Classic with many teams from Texas in attendance. Bastrop had four wins in the tournament as the Lady Bears were victorious over Elgin, Austin Eastside High School, Iowa Colony High School and Del Valle High School. Led by stellar play from senior Olivia Altamirano Newman and junior Laicey Sullivent, the Lady Bears look to continue their surge early in the season and string more match wins together as a team.
Following a road match Tuesday night at Lexington High School, Bastrop will next take part on Aug. 24-26 in the Ragin’ Rattler Tournament hosted by San Marcos High School.
ELGIN LADY WILDCATS
Lady Wildcats improved to 2-0 on their home court this season as Elgin hosted Austin Navarro High School on Aug. 15 and was able to take it to the Lady Vikings in three straight sets: 25-8, 25-20 and 25-11. Elgin junior Sabra Baker led the way on the night with six kills, while freshman Meta added five kills of her own.

After a Tuesday night road match at Lockhart High School, the Lady Wildcats will return home at 7 p.m. on Friday evening to host Round Rock Meridian World School.

CEDAR CREEK LADY EAGLES
After an opening-night victory on Aug. 8 in which Cedar Creek High School swept Lockhart High School in three straight sets, the Lady Eagles have struggled to string more victories together and had a handful of close match losses at the BISD Classic tournament.
