Hosted by Round Rock High School, the swim and dive team placed fifth out of the 14-team field that attended the MavWood Invitational.

The Lady ‘Dawgs continued district play at Lake Travis on Tuesday, October 3. The Lady ‘Dawgs were unable to use the momentum from the wins against Westlake and Austin High, as they fell in three straight sets: 25-13, 25-20, and 25-14.

As a result of the loss, the Lady ‘Dawgs fell to 4-7 in the district and 23-13 overall. With a bye week last Friday, the Lady ‘Dawgs look to rebound at Johnson this Tuesday. 

After dropping the homecoming game to Austin High, the ‘Dawgs had time to reset during their bye week. Currently fifth in the district, the ‘Dawgs have an important game against the Johnson Jaguars, who sit in fourth place, the last playoff spot, this Thursday.
