Southlake Carroll Varsity Girl's Varsity in non-district action versus Colleyville Heritage. Southlake won 3-0.
The Southlake Carroll Lady Dragons enter the 2025 volleyball campaign with high expectations as they compete in one of the toughest districts in the state. Already a few games in, their season kicked off with an impressive non-district tournament run where they put together seven consecutive wins, including strong showings against Highland Park and V.R. Eaton.
Once district play begins, every match is crucial. The Lady Dragons, led by senior Kinsley Young, will host Trinity, Timber Creek, Keller, Northwest, L.D. Bell, V.R. Eaton, Keller Central, and Bell at Dragon Stadium.
