TAPPS Tournament: Round Rock Christian victorious in Division 3A

<p>Last week was a big one for high school volleyball in the state of Texas as Garland hosted the University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Tournament, where six state champions were crowned among the numerous public high schools of the Lone Star State.</p> <p>At the same time, the top private high schools of the state were competing for their state titles in Waco, the host city of the Texas Association of Parochial and Private High Schools (TAPPS) State Championship, where six other teams emerged victorious.</p> <p>As last week our focus was entirely on what going on in Garland, we’ll take the next few days to honor the winners of the TAPPS tournament and its top performers. It’s time we take a look at the outcome of Division 3A.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u>3A</u></strong></p> <p>The Round Rock Christian Crusaders sat at the top of the division for the third time in the last ten years with their victory last weekend.</p> <p>The team from the Austin area was in top form in the state match against the Midland Classical Academy Knights, pulling off a 3-1 (25-22, 25-16, 22-25, 25-15) triumph to take the title.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Congratulations to Round Rock Christian, your <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/TAPPSvolleyball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TAPPSvolleyball</a> 3A State Champion! <a href="https://t.co/sOQjHAKR9J">pic.x.com/sOQjHAKR9J</a></p> — TAPPS Volleyball (@TAPPSvolleyball) <a href="https://x.com/TAPPSvolleyball/status/1461896497650352133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 20, 2021</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>The Crusaders got production from quite a few different players with junior outside hitter Ryann Holley registering 13 kills, senior middle blocker Emma Owens tallying five blocks, junior libero [player_tooltip player_id="122895" first="Kelli" last="Northup"] adding 16 digs and junior setter Reagan Sawyer dishing out 36 assists.</p> <p>The other two teams in the division who made it to the State Tournament were Rosehill Christian and Dallas Lutheran.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">TAPPS 2021 3A Volleyball All Tournament Team: <a href="https://t.co/kKhawWBnux">pic.x.com/kKhawWBnux</a></p> — TAPPS Volleyball (@TAPPSvolleyball) <a href="https://x.com/TAPPSvolleyball/status/1461897083942748162?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 20, 2021</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>All-Tournament Team</strong></p> <p>Brylee Kobza - Rosehill Christian – 2023</p> <p>Elise Grigsby – Midland Classical Academy – 2022</p> <p>Emma Owens – Round Rock Christian – 2022</p> <p>Emma Westfall – Midland Classical Academy – 2022</p> <p>Kaylee Bankston – Rosehill Christian – 2022</p> <p>Kaytlin Frieling – Dallas Lutheran – 2022</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="122895" first="Kelli" last="Northup"] – Round Rock Christian – 2023</p> <p>Maddison Hunter – Midland Classical Academy – 2022</p> <p>Millie Olsson – Dallas Lutheran – 2023</p> <p>Paytan Parham – Midland Classical Academy – 2022</p> <p>Reagan Sawyer – Round Rock Christian – 2023</p> <p>Ryann Holley – Round Rock Christian – 2023</p>
