Dodd City, Texas -- Volleyball fans got their money's worth Tuesday night at a competitive match between the Dodd City Lady Hornets and Grayson Christian, a match that was up for grabs until the final point fell.

Dodd City took the opener, 25-21, but Grayson Christian proved they came to play with a 25-12 victory in the second set.

It was another 25-21 win for Dodd City in the third set and once again Grayson Christian answered emphatically with a 25-10 victory that set up a tiebreaker.

In the truncated fifth set, the teams were all knotted up at 15-15 before Grayson Christian collected the final two points of the night to earn a 17-15 win.

Kodi Dorau and Gracyn Shindler both finished with 15 points to pace the Dodd City attack.

Adisen White and Makayla Camp each had three kills, Paige Clark and Caroline Lackey both put down a pair of kills and Kayleigh McBrayer had one kill. 

McBrayer dished out 20 assists to her Lady Hornet hitters and White had 14 assists.
