PORT ISABEL, TX — After an undefeated Day 1 performance that electrified fans and earned them a spot in the Elite Bracket, the Cuero Lady Gobblers returned to the court Friday with determination and grit. Facing off against some of South Texas’s top volleyball programs, Cuero held their own in the championship rounds of the Volley by the Beach tournament, hosted by Port Isabel High School.
The Elite Bracket featured fierce competition, and Cuero’s squad showed resilience through every set. According to MaxPreps, the Gobblers wrapped up the tournament with a series of hard-fought matches, including wins against Edison, Luling, Cole, Eagle Pass, and Comfort — all in straight or near-straight sets. Their final record for the tournament stood at an impressive 7–2 in bracket play, with a six-match win streak to close out the event.
While they didn’t take home the championship trophy, Cuero’s performance in Port Isabel was a statement: this team is building momentum and chemistry early in the season. Their ability to bounce back from mid-August losses and dominate in neutral-site tournament play speaks volumes about their depth and leadership.
Port Isabel’s own Lady Tarpons, meanwhile, continued to battle through a rebuilding season. Despite a tough loss to Cuero on Thursday, they hosted the tournament with pride and community spirit, drawing support from local fans and alumni.
Cuero now turns its attention to district play, with upcoming matches against Calallen, St. Joseph, and Wimberley. If their Port Isabel showing is any indication, the Lady Gobblers are poised to make noise in 4A Region IV this fall.
