El Paso, Texas – The Eastlake volleyball team solidified its position at the top of District 1-6A with a dominant straight-set victory over Coronado High School on Tuesday. This win not only extended Eastlake’s perfect record in district play to 6-0 but also improved their overall record for the season to an impressive 29-3.

In the recent match against Coronado, the Eastlake Falcons showcased their depth and skill. The coaching staff, led by Roel DeAnda, highlighted a strong desire for the team to compete at a high level. The squad has also prepared rigorously for a challenging pre-district schedule that features tournaments in Garland and Leander, Texas.
