SAN ANGELO, TX — An incredible volleyball season for Tom Green County schools continued Tuesday with the Lake View Maidens and TLCA Lady Eagles each earning playoff trips.
It’s the first time since 2022 that Lake View has qualified for the playoffs.
Lake View made it official with a four-set win Tuesday on the road against Levelland.
The Maidens are now 14-14 overall and 5-6 in District 5-4A heading into their regular-season finale at noon Saturday at home against Big Spring.
It has been a huge leap for the Lake View program after it struggled through winless seasons in 2023 and 2024. The Maidens’ improvement began last year with a seven-win season.
Kaylee Morgan is in her second year as Lake View’s head coach.
TLCA has qualified for the playoffs for the second consecutive year after a sweep of Merkel on Tuesday.
The Lady Eagles improved to 20-12 overall and 8-3 in District 5-3A heading into Friday’s regular-season finale at 7 p.m. Saturday at No. 24-ranked Jim Ned.
TLCA beat Jim Ned in four sets in their last meeting for one of its biggest wins of the season.
The playoffs are set to begin Oct. 29-31.
