Robert E. Lee kept its perfect district home record intact while keeping pace in the 11-6A standings with a sweep of North Mesquite Friday at REL Varsity Gym.

The Lady Raiders used a team-high 11 kills from junior April Brown to defeat the Lady Stallions, 25-20, 25-20, 25-21.



The victory moves Lee to 6-3 in the league standings, which keeps it tied for third place with Mesquite Horn.

REL coach Ronda Shirley said it wasn’t her team’s best effort, but “it’s still a win.”

Senior Deja Hamilton finished with seven kills and five aces with senior Taylor Hale delivering a team-high 10 digs.
