University Interscholastic League district alignments have Class 1A Avalon placed in District 15-2A, where competition can be challenging. The Lady Eagles, however, have proven themselves tough against both classes.

HC Tony Hernandez is prepping the Orange Flyers for a possible post-season berth. They have three home tilts in a row, Oct. 5 against Rio Vista, Oct. 12 versus Blum and Oct. 15 when Italy comes to the Dome. Never count out the Eagles.

After opening District 14-5A play with three straight sweep-defeats, Ennis bounced back with one of their own in a 3-0 home triumph over Corsicana on Sept. 24. The Lady Lions, bent on improving from last year’s last place finish, want to rise high enough to reach fourth place. That would also bring a berth in the state playoffs.
