Celina's volleyball season ended Tuesday night in the last round before the state tournament.

Colleyville Heritage swept the Bobcats 25-23, 25-15, 25-22 to win the Class 5A Division II Region II final, The Dallas Morning News reported. The first and third sets were decided by two and three points; Heritage won the second by 10.

The Bobcats reached the regional final the hard way. In the area round a week earlier, they came back from two sets to one down to beat Frisco Memorial in five sets. They went into last Friday's regional semifinal against Midlothian with a 30-11 record, according to the Fort Worth-area pairings the Star-Telegram published, and won it to set up the final with Heritage.

A tough draw

Heritage has won 31 of its last 33 matches, is 37-7 and has made the final four three times in the past five seasons, the Morning News reported. Its only state championship came in 2022.

Heritage meets Abilene Wylie, which ended Argyle's season in the Region I final, in the 1 p.m. semifinal on Saturday, Nov. 14, in Prosper ISD's Rock Hill High gym, according to the University Interscholastic League's semifinal site list. The 5A Division I semifinal between Frisco Reedy and Highland Park follows at 4 p.m. in the same gym.

Celina's fall sports calendar is not finished. The Bobcats football team opens its playoffs Friday at Lucas Lovejoy.
