A late sports submission to us from February but, still worth letting the community know about it! Congratulations to these wonderful young athletes!
Wimberley, TX – The 12U South Texas Slammers volleyball club posted a perfect 5-0 record at the Wimberley Showdown on Sunday (February 14) and earned their third tournament win this season.
In the single round-robin tournament format, the Slammers faced volleyball clubs from across central Texas including Austin, Hugelland, Seguin, Waco, and Wimberley.
After straight-set wins over the Texas Tigers from Seguin 21-13, 21-6 and Austin Performance Volleyball 21-18, 21-12, the Slammers met the tournament host, Wimberley Athletic Club. In a hard fought first set, a late rally by the Slammers forced sudden death and eventually a 23-21 win. The momentum continued into the second set with a 21-12 win and 3-0 record going into the break.
In the final two matches of the day, the Slammers topped the Texas Legends from Waco 21-7, 21-5 and Hugelland Volleyball Club 21-11, 21-6.
Coach Kieler commented after the tournament, “I am very proud of my girls today. They played with dignity and class.”
The Slammers return to the Houston area for their next tournament on March 6.
