CHILDRESS – Region I runs through Bushland, and it has for a near decade now.
The Lady Falcons were able to handle Holliday in a three-set sweep, 25-23, 25-20, 25-13, to claim the UIL Region I-3A Division I championship Tuesday night at Childress High School.
Bushland keeps a stronghold on the region advancing to the UIL state semifinals for an eighth straight year with all of those coming under head coach Jason Culpepper.
“It’s an amazing accomplishment to get back to the state semifinals,” said Culpepper, who has won 306 games and four UIL state championships in his eight years at Bushland. “Bushland volleyball has a great tradition and these girls make my job easy. We try and get better everyday. These seniors have been absolutely incredible.”
The Lady Falcons (38-5) will face a very familiar opponent in Gunter (32-16) in the Class 3A Division I state semifinals, which is set for 3 p.m. Saturday on the campus of Wichita Falls Legacy High School…
