Lindsay sweeps district rival Collinsville to reach Class 2A Division II state semifinal

Lindsay volleyball is one win from a state championship match. The Lady Knights swept district rival Collinsville on Nov. 9 in the Class 2A Division II regional final, which ended the Lady Pirates' season, according to the MaxPreps playoff bracket. UIL designates MaxPreps as its official source for playoff brackets and has schools report their scores there.

Lindsay won each set by roughly 10 points, according to the bracket.

| Set | Lindsay | Collinsville |

|---|---:|---:|

| First | 25 | 16 |

| Second | 25 | 15 |

| Third | 25 | 14 |

| Sets won | 3 | 0 |

Lindsay's next opponent is the winner of the Christoval–Windthorst match. The bracket places that state semifinal on Nov. 14. UIL has the division's title match set for 4 p.m. Nov. 19 at the Curtis Culwell Center.

Lindsay ISD's announcement of the pairing set the regional final at Sanger High School, with a 7 p.m. start.

The two schools play in the same district. UIL's 2026 alignment puts Lindsay and Collinsville in District 10-2A, together with Ivanhoe Sam Rayburn, Tioga, Tom Bean and Whitewright. Under the 2024 alignment they had been in different districts, with Lindsay in 9-2A and Collinsville in 10-2A.

Collinsville won three playoff rounds before the loss, according to the bracket. The Lady Pirates swept Lipan, swept Detroit and then beat Mart in four sets.

Lindsay swept Santo on Oct. 29, according to the school district's athletics page. It beat North Hopkins in four sets on Nov. 2 and then defeated Crawford in the regional semifinal on Nov. 5.

That round carried history. Lindsay's November 2025 school-board report records a regional-semifinal loss to Crawford, which ended the previous season. That team finished 36–9 and won the district title without a loss, according to the same report.

District 10-2A member Tioga also reached a regional final this fall. Tioga played Alvord for a Class 2A Division I regional title, according to MaxPreps' bracket for that division.

The separate Division I and Division II brackets date to June 11, 2024. On that day the UIL Legislative Council voted to split the postseason into divisions in Classes 2A through 6A for volleyball, baseball and softball, according to UIL's release on the meeting. The council also approved changes in basketball and soccer at that meeting.

Both programs have been to the state tournament before, according to UIL's all-time appearance records. Lindsay is listed with trips in 2009, 2013, 2014, 2018 and 2022, and none of them ended in a championship. Collinsville is listed with appearances in 2005 and 2006 and won the state title in 2006.
