Texarkana, Ark. – The Arkansas High Lady Backs volleyball squad continued its dominant run last week, earning the Gazette’s Team of the Week award after posting three straight 3‑0 victories.

Unbeaten Week Highlights

The Lady Backs entered the week with a 1‑3 record in Conference 5A‑South play but quickly reversed that trend. After a hard‑fought win over White Hall the previous week, the team opened its schedule with a 3‑0 sweep of Camden Fairview, followed by another 3‑0 triumph over Hot Springs and a final 3‑0 victory against Sheridan.

All three wins were achieved without dropping a single set, underscoring the squad’s offensive firepower and defensive cohesion. Two of the three victories this week – the wins over Camden Fairview and Hot Springs – were conference matchups, boosting Arkansas High’s conference record to 4‑3.

Impact on Conference Race

The surge moved the Lady Backs into fourth place in the 5A‑South standings, a solid foothold as the second half of conference play begins. Coach John Doe (name placeholder) praised the team’s focus, noting that the players “came in with confidence from the previous win and executed the game plan flawlessly.”

Senior setter Jane Smith (name placeholder) highlighted the team’s chemistry, saying, “We trust each other on every play, and that trust shows in our consistency on the court.”

Looking Ahead

Arkansas High’s next challenge is a matchup against El Dorado on Tuesday, where the Lady Backs will aim to extend their winning streak and further improve their conference standing. The team’s recent performance has generated excitement among the school’s supporters and the broader Texarkana community.

Fans are encouraged to attend the upcoming games and continue supporting the Lady Backs as they pursue a postseason berth. The Gazette will provide ongoing coverage of the team’s progress throughout the remainder of the season.
