Thursday's Best Best: Texas Panhandle Volleyball

If you're looking for an area that the Texas Panhandle excels, you've got to look at women's volleyball.

From club to high school to home school and college, there's probably not too many areas in the country that rival the Panhandle.

So for this week's best bet, I suggest you take in a volleyball game this week. You can start with WTAMU's Lady Buffs, who play tonight at 7 at the WT Fieldhouse.

You can also catch Amarillo High vs. Odessa Permian Saturday at 2 p.m. at the AHS Activity Center or Tascosa vs. San Angelo Central at the THS Activity Center at 3 p.m.

And the area also has three defending state champions for the 2008 season: Bushland, Hereford and three-time defending state champion Amarillo High.

Both Randall and Dalhart are having great seasons as well.

So even if you're not a big sports fan, I think you'll still be impressed with the quality and effort of many of the local women's volleyball teams.
