Volleyball Recap: Lone Star Starts Season with Win at Home

Lone Star gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They walked away with a 3-1 victory over the McKinney Lions. For the Rangers, this counts as revenge for the 3-2 win the Lions walked away with the last time they faced one another back in August of 2024.

Lone Star walked away with the victory (and looked especially good in the second set). The match finished with set scores of 25-16, 25-11, 24-26, 25-19.

Lone Star's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kaitlyn Smith, who had 21 assists and five digs. Kylie Hough was another key player, getting 13 digs and two aces.

McKinney lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Madison Jones, who had 16 digs and two aces. She is on a roll when it comes to digs, as she's now had 14 or more in each of the last five games she's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Head, who had 11 digs and three assists.

Coming up, Lone Star will square off against Plano at 12:30 p.m. on Friday. McKinney has already played their next game (against Reagan), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
