It’s going to be hard to top the celebration of sport and community that was on display at the first-ever All-Ellis County All-Star volleyball game!

The West ultimately defeated the East in 4 intense sets (25-22, 26-24, 15-25, 25-21) inside the picture perfect setting and in front of a packed house at The Old Gym (Midlothian Historic Gymnasium Project)!

Midlothian senior outside hitter McKenzie Berg (TCU) received the Methodist Midlothian Medical Center MVP award — The Ellis County Stanley Cup (we’re still working on the name but…). Kraken Kreations fired a perfect ace with the laser engraving!

A special thank you to all of the county coaches who helped call lines, pass along communication to the student-athletes and more. Without each of you, we’d have no programs to celebrate.

The game was also made possible by Magers Excavation, Zeal Dance Force, Elite Diesel Pros, Bluebonnet BBQ and Citizens National Bank, and all in partnership with The Waxahachie Sun.

More photos to come thanks to Steve Patterson/Moving Pictures.

Next up? The first-ever All-Ellis County All-Star boys’ and girls’ basketball games!

The Indians will do so with one of the more prolific passers the program has ever seen — and he's only a sophomore. Not to mention, the Tribe has the skill players to rival any secondary.
