After Defeating Pea Ridge, Paris Plays at West Fork Today in Final Regular Season Match

It seems like just yesterday when the 2021 high school volleyball season began in mid-August. But the Paris Lady Eagles wrap-up their regular season schedule tonight when they travel to West Fork to take on the Lady Tigers. The match at West Fork will culminate a successful week that saw the Lady Eagles win their Invitational tournament and conclude their season with conference wins and one win over Class 4A Pea Ridge. As of approximately 8:30 p.m. tonight, it will be post-season time, and the Lady Eagles will be focused on making tournament runs in the district and state tournaments.

The 3A West district tournament will be held in Booneville next week, and Paris is slated for a bye to the semifinals as the number two seed in the tournament, Paris will play on Wednesday against a quarterfinal winner that will be determined in next week’s tournament play. The tournament’s number one seed is Hackett, and the Lady Hornets will also have a bye to the semis and will play a quarterfinal winner on Wednesday, as well.

On Monday, the Lady Eagles soundly defeated the Pea Ridge Lady Black Hawks in perhaps one of their best defensive performances of the season. The back line defensive combination of Rachel O’Neal and Melodie Lo was outstanding in the three set sweep of Pea Ridge.

Tonight’s games at West Fork will include games starting at 4:30 p.m. in 7th grade, junior A, junior varsity, and varsity matches. In additional scheduling information, the junior high district tournament will be played Saturday in Lincoln.

Resident Press will be at West Fork tonight to bring you coverage of the Lady Eagles varsity match with the Lady Tigers. Look for this story in Resident Press on Sunday.

It has been another great season for Paris volleyball, but for seven Paris senior players, it is not over. The Lady Eagles seem poised to make another deep tournament run, and Resident Press will be there to bring you all of the action!
