PARIS- The game was all but a foregone conclusion, but the real celebration was for four seniors on Paris Senior Night.
Lady Eagles seniors Kendri Martines, Abbi Walker, Carsyn Johnson, and Stephanie Arredondo were celebrated for their contributions to the Paris volleyball program. In fact, all four seniors played extensive minutes during their final home game of their high school careers.
The win capped the regular season for Paris that saw the Lady Eagles win all of their conference matches with the exception to the conference champions, the Hackett Lady Hornets. Hackett swept Paris in the regular season to win the regular season championship and the top seed in this week’s conference tournament. The 3A West district tournament is currently being held at Elkins High School. The top four finishers in the tournament will receive berths in next week’s state tournament.
By virtue of their first and second place finishes in the regular season, the Hackett Lady Hornets and the Paris Lady Eagles have byes to the district tournament semifinals on Wednesday. A win in the semifinals by either or both teams will guarantee them no worse than a two seed in next week’s state tournament. The championship final of the district tournament will be held on Thursday.
The 3A state tournament will be hosted next week by Valley Springs High School. The first three rounds of the tournament will be played in Harrison starting on Tuesday, October 24. The state final in Class 3A will be held in Hot Springs on Saturday, October 28.
