Lady Cats notch first district win since 2022

The Lady Wildcats varsity volleyball team tasted victory in district play for the first time in three years last week.

Elgin outlasted Pflugerville Connally in a five-set thriller Sept. 23 before falling to East View on Friday. The win also marked the first district triumph under first-year head coach Hope Pawlik.

“We came into this season facing some real challenges,” Pawlik said. “Our numbers were low — fewer than 10 freshmen joined us — and many of our athletes didn’t have established roles or positions. We began by running testing drills, just trying to see where each athlete could best fill the gaps we had.”
