Cougars volleyball's playoff run ends in the regional final with a sweep by Georgetown

The College Station High volleyball team's season is over one step short of the state tournament. Georgetown beat the Cougars in three sets, 25-21, 25-20, 25-18, in the Class 5A Division I regional final Tuesday night at Buffalo Gym in Giddings, KBTX reported.

College Station finishes 28-19. The Cougars claimed District 17-5A's last playoff berth, then won three straight postseason matches to reach the regional title round.

How the run unfolded

According to KBTX's Brazos Valley playoff results:

Bi-district: College Station swept Kingwood Park, 25-22, 25-15, 25-20.
Area round: The Cougars beat Galveston Ball in four sets, 25-15, 20-25, 25-14, 25-23.
Regional semifinal: College Station dropped the first set to Austin Anderson, then took the next three, 25-21, 25-23, 25-18.
Regional final: Georgetown won in straight sets.

Georgetown also ended the season of the city's other 5A program. The Eagles knocked out A&M Consolidated in a five-set regional semifinal at the same Giddings gym, coming back after Consol won the first two sets, 25-20 and 25-19. Georgetown took the next three, 27-25, 25-17 and 15-5.
