All good things must come to an end. As for the Graham volleyball team, their season came to an end Thursday night at Jacksboro High School in the area round of the Class 4A-Region I playoffs.....

 

 

 

5-foot-9 senior Jillian Wendel also participated in her final match and collected a team-high seven blocks. Fellow senior Avery Iles had eight assists of her own.

“Tonight’s game doesn’t define our season,” Faulk said. “Come last spring, nobody thought we would be where we were at and had the kind of success we had this season. This season was an amazing story, it just had a bad ending.”

After losing seven seniors from last year’s 30-plus win team, the Lady Blues rebounded and found away to win another district title all while earning another playoff victory. 

Wendel, Ranger, Iles, Celeste Aguirre and Meredith Armstrong all helped Graham post a 32-10 overall season record.

Stephenville (28-16) advances to the regional quarterfinals to take on the winner of No. 10 Decatur
