Lady Rangers net NTJCAC honors

Gloria Geurin and Sakura Thomas have been among the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference's top volleyball players for the past two seasons. And now, everyone knows it.

The RC sophomores added some impressive notes to their collegiate resumes recently as they were honored by the conference for their play. Geurin netted NTJCAC Offensive Player of the Week accolades for the week of Aug. 22-28, while Sakura was the conference's Defensive Player of the Week for Aug. 29-Sept. 4.

A 5-foot, 8-inch libero from Clear Lake, Thomas starred for the Lady Rangers last week. She had 143 digs in 23 sets last week for an average of 6.2 digs per set. She recorded 21 digs in a three-set loss to nationally-ranked Seward on Sept. 4. She also finished the week with 17 assists.

Cisco College outside hitter Kindsee Escamilla was the NTJCAC Offensive Player of the Week.

A week earlier, Geurin pocketed the NTJCAC Offensive Player of the Week honors. A 5-10 sophomore from Corpus Christi, she registered 60 kills in 11 sets. She also had 31 digs, seven block assists and a solo block.
