Katy ranked No. 8 in preseason volleyball poll

Posted

Katy debuted in the top 10 of the preseason state volleyball poll released Tuesday by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.

The Tigers came into the year ranked at No. 8 overall in Class 6A, as they bring back a strong squad that is expected to make noise this year.

The Tigers went 31-17 last year and 10-2 in District 19-6A, coming in second place in district behind Tompkins.

But there will be talent that the Tigers need to replace for this season after graduating seven seniors, including Chandler Lee, Izzy Denton, Jordan Gamble and Maddie Waak.

The Tigers though still bring back a very strong team, including Maddy Chaapel, Addison Chapman, Kennedy Pike, Nyla Wold and Jessie Leach. They will open the season against Langham Creek in a tournament on Aug. 9 and open district play Aug. 30 against Morton Ranch.

Ridge Point, The Woodlands and Bridgeland were the other Houston area teams that were named to the preseason top ten.
