BURTON LADY PANTHERS TO FACE WEIMAR IN THE AREA ROUND

The Burton Lady Panther Volleyball Team is getting ready to face Weimar in the Area Round of the playoffs this (Thursday) evening.

Burton won the District 25-2A Championship with a perfect 8-0 record.  They are 24-21 overall.  The Lady Panthers beat Holland in the Bi-District Round on Tuesday night in a three set sweep.  Burton won the sets 25-15, 25-14, and 25-17.

The Lady Panthers are currently on a five match winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 matches.

Weimar is the number three seed from District 27-2A. They finished behind Schulenburg and Shiner.  Weimar swept Woodsboro in three straight sets in the Bi-District Round of the playoffs.

The two teams are no strangers to one another. Burton and Weimar have faced each other twice in tournament action earlier this season.  Weimar won both of those matches.

KWHI will have live coverage beginning tonight (Thursday).  The pregame begins at 6pm, followed by the first serve at 6:30pm on our KWHI.com Sports Alternate Feed and the KWHI app. The match is being played at Columbus High School.

The winner moves on to face the Shiner-Thrall winner in the Region Quarterfinals next week.
