After dropping four straight matches and five of the last six, Archer City jumped back into the win column on Saturday, Sept. 11. The Lady Cats (16-10) overcame a slow start to defeat Christ Academy, 14- 25, 25-10, 25-15, 25-21.

Second-ranked Windthorst rolled up nearly 500 yards of total offense in a 49-0 rout of De Leon on the road on Friday, Sept. 3. The Trojans (2-0) host Archer City (1-0) in their home opener on Friday, Sept. 10.
