LONGVIEW — Tyler Legacy faced a challenge during Tuesday’s volleyball match at Pine Tree, but stormed back to win in four sets and improve to 10-0 on the young season. The Lady Raiders won the Tyler ISD Invitational Volleyball Tournament over the weekend.

“Had a great Tyler ISD tournament,” said Tyler Legacy head volleyball coach Bryan Winegeart. “Didn’t face a lot of adversity (over the weekend). We faced adversity tonight and seeing them respond the way they did was good to see.”



“We want to use the preseason to build and be ready for every situation,” he continued. “That’s exactly what I told the girls at the end. I want to see y’all respond quicker to adversity than we did tonight. We responded, but it took longer than I would’ve liked it to. Grow from this, be better and let’s move forward.”

The Lady Raiders won 25-15, 25-20, 22-25, 25-16.

Tyler Legacy is scheduled to visit Whitehouse at 6 p.m. Friday.
