Mexico lost to Hallsville in the second game of the season, 25-27, 16-25, 18-25 but has played a better schedule. I still see Hallsville pulling this out in a 3-1 win. With Ashlyn Hough, Madison Threlkeld, and Lauren Blakemore coming up big in the final to help push Hallsville to the championship.
District 8 Hermann Champions
This district stacked in the top 4 teams. It should be interesting to see how it unfolds, but I’m sure the semifinal match-ups will be intriguing. Southern Boone easily wins the quarterfinal game 3-0.

Fatima’s led by Claire Nilges and Hannah Moeller on the attack. Picking Blair oaks in 5.
4 Southern Boone High School 16-8-1
1 Hermann High School 20-6-3
The defending Class 2 state champions are at it again in Class 3. Southern Boone has beat Fatima and lost to Fatima. They also have beat Jefferson City. Common opponents of Hermann, which Hermann has beaten. Hermann has one thing Southern Boone doesn’t. Gracie Winkelmann and her 464 kills and do everything skill set. Hermann with the 3-0 sweep.
Finals
2 Blair Oaks High School 23-8
1 Hermann High School 20-6-3
Poor Blair Oaks! Always getting put in a district with someone just better than them. Helias, California, and now Hermann. Hermann has beaten Rock Bridge, Fatima, Jefferson City, and Helias. Blair Oaks has lost to Fatima, Rock Bridge, Jefferson City. Hermann has lost to Jefferson City, Rock Bridge. Blair Oaks has beaten Fatima. So it’s a mess and potentially a special district final. Hermann just took Borgia to 5 before losing. Gracie Winkelmann is the x-factor. Not a better player in Class 3, and she will be the difference. Plus, Hermann has a history. Winkelmann gets enough help from Holly Heldt, Malerie Schutt, Grace Godat, and Mckenna Tyree to put this one away in 5.
