MARFA — The Lady Horns volleyball team just won a thrilling match Tuesday evening with a five set win over Rankin. Although the game had an intense, back and forth flow, Marfa managed to pull through and secure the victory.
Sparking the team was Maryfer Martinez, who started set one with exceptional diving plays and strong kills to put Marfa ahead. Raven Martinez and Ava Flores stepped up in sets four and five with their powerful spikes accompanied by amazing teamwork by all players. Head Coach Priscila Serrano stated she was proud of the team for overcoming a 1-2 deficit heading into set 4 because it provided a preview of the strong confidence that is building within the team. Marfa now heads to Fort Stockton Friday to play in the Comanche Classic. Brackets can be found on the Shorthorn Page and Marfa ISD website.
