KFDM COOP Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 LC-M playoff tilt set; BC-OF to duke it out Saturday Van Wade The Orange Leader One Orange County team knows its playoff destination while two more will be duking it out Saturday to decide which one will be in the playoffs. The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears (26-8), who stormed to the District 20-4A crown with a 13-1 record, will take on District 19-4A fourth-place unit Dayton in the Class 4A Region III bidistrict round of the playoffs Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Port Neches-Groves High School. Coach Vicki Castino’s top-notch unit clinched the 20-4A crown last Friday when they swept the Beaumont Ozen Lady Panthers 25-16, 25-19, 25-15. The Lady Bears are familiar with the playoffs but captured their first district crown since 2000. The PN-G Rock-A-Noos were the 20-4A runnerups as they made the postseason along with third-place Ozen and fourth-place Nederland and their playoff dates have yet to be determined. A nice Orange County battle will take place Saturday at 5 p.m. at Vidor High School as the Orangefield Lady Bobcats will take on the Bridge City Lady Cardinals with the third-place playoff spot on the line out of District 21-3A. Orangefield, led by first-year head coach Kristin Holbrooks almost earned the playoff spot Tuesday as they battled 21-3A co-champion Hamshire-Fannett down to the wire before falling 25-23, 25-12, 19-25, 19-25, 15-10. Bridge City, led by coach Becca Mathews, swept Hardin-Jefferson 25-19, 25-19, 25-12 Tuesday to set up the showdown as both squads finished the 21-3A campaign with 5-5 marks. The Lady Cardinals advanced all the way to the Class 3A Region III Tournament last year. Both teams split during the district season. Orangefield won at Bobcat Gym in the first half of district play, winning in five tough games. The Lady Cardinals returned the favor later at Cardinal Gym, taking that one in five grueling games. Also, H-F will play fellow co-champion Silsbee for the 21-3A crown at a site and date yet to be determined.
