GRAPELAND – In preparation for the upcoming district volleyball season, the Grapeland Sandiettes welcomed the Huntington Devilettes to town for a non-district match.

The Sandiettes have had an up-and-down year so far in the 2018 season and have posted a record of 10-8 while the Devilettes sit at 13-5 while competing in Class 4A.

Grapeland played well but in the end, Huntington pulled away and won the match in three straight by scores of 25-17, 25-12 and 25-10.

The first game of the match saw Grapeland fall behind early forcing the Sandiettes to try and catch –up to the Devilettes. Huntington opened the first game on an 8-2 run before Grapeland cut the score to 9-5.

The Sandiettes closed the gap to four once again when the score was 14-10, but that was as close as Grapeland would get as they lost the first game by a score of 25-17.

The second game was a replay of the first as the Devilettes opened up a seven point at the start and never looked back. The Sandiettes closed to within six at 10-4 but that’s when Huntington went on a 7-2 run to pull away and win the second game by a score of 25-12.

The final game saw the Devilettes open up a 10-4 lead and then pull away to win the game by a final score of 25-10 and the match 3-0.

The Sandiettes hit the road on Tuesday for a non-district match against the San Augustine Lady Wolves in San Augustine and then return home for the district opener against the Neches Lady Tigers on Friday, Sept. 7.
