Mexia's Courtney Condon, center, hammers a kill between Leon's Amy Holt, left, and Avery Robinson. Mexia lost in four sets 25-20, 8-25, 26-28, 20-25. The Ladycats next play in the Grandview tournament today starting at 2 p.m. TJ Maxwell photo Ladycats fall in battle of Top 10s
The No. 6 Mexia Ladycat varsity volleyball team faced off with 2A counterpart Leon, the No. 6-ranked team in 2A on Monday in Mexia. The crowd participation and intensity from the players felt more like that of a playoff game and not an early preseason match up.
Both squads showed inconsistency, which is par for the course this early in the season. Leon, however, managed to shake the cobwebs loose much faster than Mexia and came away with the 3-1 win (20-25, 25-8, 28-26, 25-20).

Each scrimmage was simply a 45 minute running clock, with no timeouts used.
It took Mexia a while to find their rhythm in their first outing against Franklin at 9 a.m., but the Ladycats quickly regained their composure and dominated Athens in their second match of the morning. Mexia started making serves, hitting with better authority and consistency and began playing better defense at the net. Mexia also showed some of the up tempo volleyball coach Sherri Cain looks More
