Something about being the defending state champion – in another class.
The Prosper Eagles, owners of last season’s Class 5A state title after an instant classic win over Leander Rouse, reeled off eight straight wins in the 2018 Adidas John Turner Classic.
Coach Erin Kauffman’s squad beat a taller Flower Mound team, led by first-year head coach Jamie Siegel, in three sets (20-25, 25-15, 25-17) of the Pearland tournament championship on Saturday afternoon.
