The Lewisville High School varsity volleyball team began its season at home with a win over Frisco Centennial in four sets Monday. The Farmers took the lead after winning the first set 25-23. Centennial responded in the second set and tied the game with a 26-24 score. 
     Stemming the comeback attempt, LHS came out on top, winning the third and fourth sets, 25-15 and 25-22, respectively. After some losses in tournament prior to the game, Lewisville Volleyball assistant coach Elise Swearengin, who was substituting for Head Coach Libby Rodriguez, says the victory is only a sign for things to come.
     “They did really well,” Swearengin said, “we had to work out a few kinks at the tournament this weekend and they needed to bounce back from a couple of bad losses, but they did it and made everyone here really proud.”
If those issues are worked out, Swearengin is confident the team will be successful later in the season.
     “If they keep working the way they’re working in practice, we’ll get there by the middle of district and we’ll have a really good season,” Swearengin said. “We want our girls to make the playoffs obviously and that’s a goal of ours, but the girls handle that pressure well and that’s something they want, especially our seniors who have been working for it for four years. It’s not pressure; it’s determination.”
     Lewisville Volleyball has a tournament at Allen on August 21 and 22, and the next regular game will be held on August 25 at Lewisville High School against Marcus at 7:30 p.m.
