PROSPER – When the Farmersville volleyball team defeated District 13-4A rival Sunnyvale in five sets on Oct. 9 for its first victory against the Lady Raiders in four years, freshman outside hitter Emree Brazil was in the mindset that it was a turning point in the Lady Farmers’ season.
After Farmersville earned a 25-18, 25-23, 25-17 sweep of Ponder in a Region II-4A Division II semifinal on Saturday at Prosper Walnut Grove, the Lady Farmers earned their 11th consecutive win and booked another match with Sunnyvale, this time in the regional final.
Farmersville and Sunnyvale will play at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Sachse High School.
Brazil said defeating Sunnyvale provided the momentum that Farmersville needed to finish the regular season strong and advance to the fourth round of the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
“That win was kind of the switch we needed,” she said. “It got our team fully in gear, at our peak. I’m excited to go up against them again.”
