The volleyball team, currently fourth in district, faces Seguin at home on Tuesday for the final district matchup and senior night.

Canyon (11-1) sits atop District 26 5A followed by 9-3 Tivy. Pieper is tied with the Rangers at 8-4. However, Pieper defeated Smithson Valley 3-2 in both district matchups on Sept. 7 and Oct. 3.

The Rangers take on Boerne Champion at their gym on Friday and celebrate senior night against Seguin on Tuesday. Playoffs start Oct. 30-31.

Smithson Valley (26-14 overall) lost a crucial 1-3 game to Canyon on Oct. 17 in what could have changed seeding for playoffs.

The Rangers had a slew of injuries in the first half of the season, according to head coach Melissa Miller.

Senior Olivia Fuentes leads the team in kills with 323 and receptions with 661. Megan Zamora anchors the defense with 69 blocks while also leading in service aces with 39. Brittan Fedyk dives all over the floor with 553 digs, and Marlowe Berry sets her team up with 669 assists.

Fedyk, Macie Mathis, Kendall Reidel, Fuentes, Zamora, Savannah Leonard and Makenna Hanscom will be recognized on senior night after the 5:30 p.m. junior varsity game.

‘They have done a lot for this program and this school,” Miller wrote in an email, “and we’d love for them to feel that love and appreciation with a full house on the night of their last volleyball game in the SV gym.”
