Twins Tess & Jill Eilers Power Cubettes Strong Start to the Volleyball Season
Round Top-Carmine volleyball players Tess and Jill Eilers are twin sisters that flourish in their own stat categories on the court. Tess is usually among the leaders in kills while Jill gathers up a lot of the digs on a Cubette team that has started the season off strong. “They’re pretty hard on each other, which is good,” said Round Top-Carmine head volleyball coach Catie Carney.
No. 13 Bellville Bests La Grange
The very tough non-district portion of their schedule continued for the Lady Leps at home Tuesday as they fell to No. 13-ranked Bellville 18-25, 16-- 25, 20-25. This comes on the heels of a tournament last week where the Lady Leps faced a flurry of 5A and 6A teams. The Lady Leps have a 13-16 overall record heading into a 4 p.m. match this Friday at Schulenburg.
La Grange at Columbus
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday Where: Columbus Records: LG is 0-1. Columbus is 1-0. Of Note: The Leps face another tough challenge this week as they tangle with Columbus, a team ranked No. 6 in the state in Class 3A. The Cardinals are coming off a manhandling of Giddings, which they beat 42-7 last week. In that game, sophomore quarterback Adam Schobel completed 14 of 19 passes for 313 yards and four touchdowns. Columbus also has a trio of Schobels who are standouts on defense. Columbus head coach Matt Schobel is a former TCU star who went on to play in the NFL as a tight end for several years. The Cardinals also had a pair of running backs rush for over 100 yards each last week, including JJ Hurd, who ran for two TDs. The Cardinals went 10-3 last year and return nine starters on each side of the ball ... The Leps, meanwhile, are trying to bounce back from last week’s 24-14 loss to Bellville. The Leps played well but had trouble holding onto the football (four turnovers). Junior quarterback Jaden Williams ran for a team-high 179 yards in that game. The Leps lost star lineman (and Baylor commit) Jaren Woods for the season because of a broken leg in that game.
