North Mesquite, West Mesquite and Bryan Adams finished in a three-way tie for second place.

For the Wranglers, it was a long time coming, as their last appearance came nearly three decades ago back in 1993.

After breaking through last season, and armed with that experience, West Mesquite is now taking aim at its first district championship since 1991, which is the only such title in its history.

The Wranglers (3-8) believe they have the talent to make that happen with senior Odyssi Armstrong, last year’s co-outstanding blocker, junior Alexis Mata, the 12-5A outstanding libero, as well as seniors Ally Rogers and Jaycee Trunkhill and juniors Tamara Cooper, Aubrey Taylor and Brianna Johnson.
