COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The College Station High School volleyball team’s run through the Class 5A Division I playoffs ended Tuesday night with a straight-sets loss to Georgetown in the regional final at Buffalo Gym in Giddings.
Georgetown won by scores of 25-21, 25-20 and 25-18. The Cougars finished the season 28-19 overall. College Station was the last team to qualify from District 17-5A, yet it still won three matches in the postseason, including a victory over Austin Anderson that sent it into the regional championship match.
The loss came against a Georgetown team that arrived with a 44-5 record. The Eagles had already knocked out the other College Station school in the field, A&M Consolidated, which lost to Georgetown in five sets in the regional semifinals in Giddings. Consol had reached that round by beating La Porte.
Two College Station-area teams reached the regional round, and Georgetown beat both. The margins against the Cougars grew as the night went on: four points in the first set, five in the second and seven in the third.
Georgetown moves on to the state semifinals, where it will face Flour Bluff on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Merrell Center in Katy. For College Station, the loss closes a season that got into the playoffs as the district’s final qualifier and ended one win short of the state semifinals.
During a timeout in the third set Tuesday, a College Station fan called out for the team to keep swinging. The Cougars’ last win of the year came a round earlier against Austin Anderson.
