The second round of District 29-5A volleyball seems to be a thorn in the side of the top four teams with two dropping games this week.
Earlier in the week, Cigarroa fell to Nixon to throw a monkey wrench into the playoff scene and Saturday afternoon, United South almost pulled off an upset.
United (9-2 29-5A, 16-12) held off United South's (0-11, 7-18) late surge to hold on to a 26-28, 25-21, 25-13, 21-25 and 15-10 victory at the United South gymnasium.
Junior setter-hitter Natalie Chavez, who earlier in the day captured individual girls' title at the Dr. Marissa Keene Memorial cross country meet, did not skip a beat on the volleyball court as she recorded a team-high 16 kills. She added 21 assists, nine points and 12 digs.
Teammate Ashley Everett backed Chavez with 12 kills and three blocks.
Everett was instrumental in keeping the Lady Longhorns in the games with kills that came at moments when her team needed a boost.
