McKinney North remains the sole unbeaten squad in District 9-5A volleyball after defeating Sherman on Tuesday. The Lady Bulldogs improved their league record to 6-0 with a three-set sweep, extending their overall winning streak to six matches.
The victory was highlighted by the return of sophomore Tinley Brubaker, who had been sidelined by a back injury. She immediately contributed to the win, recording a match-high 15 kills in just three sets. Her performance included a .700 hitting percentage against Sherman. Brubaker finished fourth on the team in kills during her freshman season last year.
Other key performances came from sophomore Brynli Burgess, who recorded 23 digs from the back row, and senior Kennedy Hangartner, who added 14 digs and nine kills for McKinney North. The Lady Bulldogs hold a one-game lead over Lovejoy and Celina, which stand at 5-1.
