Canton’s most recent stretch of matches could essentially be renamed rivalry week, as the Eaglettes tangled with both Van and Wills Point in District 13-4A play. Canton, which finished last season with a District 14-4A title, entered the week with a 2-3 record overall through the first round of district play with a tough loss to Mabank Oct. 7.  

The Eaglettes traveled to Van Oct. 11, playing a Vandal team that defeated them in four sets back on Sept. 23: 25-17, 25-16, 28-30, 25-17.

Unfortunately for Canton fans, the second matchup didn’t go any better than the first with Van securing a three set win over the Eaglettes.

The Lady Vandals put together a dominant run in the first set, riding big nights from both M’Kenna Daniel, Macy Rucker and Alli Lloyd to a 25-12 start.

Van carried its strong play into the match’s second set, building up a two sets to none lead with a 25-15 stretch.

Canton managed to stem the tide somewhat in the third set, but the Lady Vandals still managed to close out the sweep with a 25-21 set win.
