The Dickinson High School Varsity Volleyball Team advanced to the playoffs for the second year in a row and celebrated advancing to second round of playoffs for the first time since 2008. They finished the season as Bi-District Champs and Area Finalist with a 33-13 overall record and a 12-2 district record. While they were not successful against Pearland in the second round of playoffs, the girls are continuing to build momentum as last year’s team advanced to the playoffs after a 15-year long playoff game absence and this year’s team took it one step further by advancing to the second-round playoff game. Another huge achievement this season was that the team broke the Clear Springs High School 38 consecutive district match winning streak and ended a 16 match losing streak to the Lady Chargers.
Several players were recognized with post-season honors for their performances during the fall season through UIL District 24-6A, Texas High School Coaches Association, and American Volleyball Coaches Association.
