LEAGUE CITY, Texas — Clear Springs and Cypress Ranch have won 38 volleyball matches apiece this season. On Tuesday, one of them will get a 39th win and a spot in the Class 6A Division I state semifinals.
The Chargers (38–9) and Mustangs (38–7) play for the Region III championship at 5 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, at Delmar Fieldhouse, 2020 Mangum Road in Houston. It’s the same floor where Clear Springs swept Leander Rouse on Friday, 25–19, 25–21, 25–19.

Junior outside hitter Olivia Barnett led Clear Springs with 15 kills. Senior Caylee Young had 11 kills, 14 digs and four blocks. Setter Karmen O’Quinn finished with 27 assists and 11 digs in the three-set win.
The Chargers have dropped just one set in three playoff matches. They swept North Shore in the opener, lost the first set to Memorial in the area round, then won the next three to eliminate the Mustangs. Friday’s sweep made it six straight playoff sets for Clear Springs.
Cypress Ranch is chasing a return to state
