The Lady Hawks will play for another state championship on Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m. against Katy Seven Lakes, after defeating Conroe the Woodlands in the regional semifinals, 3-0. The game will be held at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland.

At the semifinals, Hebron won the first set with a score of 21-25. The set was won with multiple spikes from senior outside hitter Adanna Rollins.

The second set started with senior libero Annie Benbow serving. A second timeout was called by Woodlands with Hebron leading 23-18. The spike by sophomore right side hitter Nicole Drewnick gave Hebron a 25-20 lead.

“I felt like [the match] was pretty good,” head coach Karin Keeney said. “It was a little slow and sluggish at first, but it picked up steam and we got better. Our blocking looked better towards the end. [Yes, we feel pressure knowing it’s out third try at state], but I’m trying to keep it off my kids. It’s [just] about winning the next match.”

The third set began with a serve led by Woodlands junior Georgia Murphy. There was a 3-3 tie, but the spike by junior outside hitter Emma Clothier got Hebron leading 4-3.
