Veribest ISD sports roundup: football 6–4, volleyball playoff win and close regional loss, cross country district champions
Summary
Athletic Director Justin Morris updated the board on fall sports: varsity football finished 6–4; volleyball advanced through bi-district with a 3–0 win over Rankin and then lost a close regional match to Benjamin; boys cross country won district and just missed state qualification at regionals.
Athletic Director Justin Morris reported fall-season results and roster updates to the board.
Football finished the season 6–4 in a challenging district, Morris said, and both junior high and JV seasons concluded. Volleyball had a deep run: the Lady Falcons won the bi-district match against Rankin 3–0 and then lost to Benjamin in the regional round in a tight four-set match that ended with a 24–26 score in the fourth set. Morris described the volleyball squad as undersized and young but praised the team's culture and resilience.
Cross country had notable success: the boys team won the district championship and several runners finished close to state-qualifying positions at regionals. Basketball (boys and girls) rosters and practice starts were also reported for the upcoming season.
Morris characterized the season as an important cultural turning point for the district’s volleyball program and thanked community supporters and school leadership for their backing.
