CUBETTES SEASON ENDS IN AREA PLAYOFF

The Brenham Cubettes’ runs of four-straight must-win victories came to an end Thursday night in Navasota, as the Rudder Lady Rangers ended Brenham’s season in the Area Round of the playoffs.

Rudder (30-14) eliminated the Cubettes (28-17) in three-straight sets, 25-22, 25-13, 25-20.

The Lady Rangers pounded away at the Cubettes from the middle, while their blockers were able to slow down Brenham’s outside attack.

After winning the hard-fought opening set, Rudder hit two extended scoring streaks in the second set, pulling away to the 12-point win.

The Cubette opened the third set on a roll, jumping out to a 7-0 lead.  But the Lady Rangers chipped away, before taking the lead at 20-19.  Rudder would score eight of the last nine points to close out the match and move on to the third round.

Brenham season comes to an end after facing five-straight must-win situations.

The Cubettes fashioned wins over Tomball Memorial, Tomball and Magnolia West just to force a four-way tie in 19/5A and earn a playoff berth.  Then a three-game sweep over Houston Austin sent them into the Area matchup with Rudder.

The Lady Rangers advance to the Region Quarterfinals, where they will meet Magnolia—winners over Huntsville in three-straight sets.
