The district champion Lady Pirates began the 2011 volleyball playoffs with a bi-district victory over the Killeen Lady Roos on November 1, 2011.  The girls won the match in three games (25-13, 25-8, 25-13) at Hamilton High School.

The team advances to the area round and will face the Saginaw Boswell Lady Pioneers on Thursday, November 3.  The match will begin at 6:00 P.M. at Weatherford High School (moved from the original site of Weatherford Ninth Grade Center).

The girls ended district play with a 13-1 record, having posted thirteen straight wins for their second straight District 7-4A championship.  Their only loss came in the first district game versus the Burleson Lady Elks on September 9.  Since then, the Lady Pirates have been on a winning streak – including a drubbing of Burleson at home on October 4.
