Larry Doonan<\/a><\/p>\nROCKPORT \u2014 The Rockport-Fulton volleyball team grabbed some early momentum against Corpus Christi London during their District 30-4A match on Tuesday, Oct. 20.<\/p>\n
But London seized it back in the second set and never let it go as it broke a tie at the top of the district standings by taking a 22-25, 25-14, 25-19, 25-11 victory over Rockport-Fulton at Rockport-Fulton High School.<\/p>\n
Rockport-Fulton fell to 22-12 overall and 9-2 in district play as London improved to 20-19 and 10-1 with one match remaining in the regular season for both squads. Thanks to Corpus Christi Moody\u2019s win against Ingleside on Oct. 20, both London and Rockport-Fulton will represent the district in the Class 4A Division II playoff bracket.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were talking in the locker room, we still have another district game to win on (Oct. 23) and then we prepare for playoffs,\u201d Rockport-Fulton coach Jessica Clark said. \u201cIt\u2019s OK to be upset, we should be upset, we have a team of girls that really wanted to win and things just didn\u2019t go our way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holly Baergen led Rockport-Fulton with nine kills as Julia Lechler added eight and Allie Garcia six. Baergen also had 10 digs, five aces and a block assist in the victory as Garcia added three block assists and two aces.<\/p>\n
