Texas State’s first season in the Pac-12 rolls into its final home stretch on Thursday, November 12, when San Diego State visits Strahan Arena in San Marcos for a 6 p.m. first serve, and the Bobcats get one of their last home looks before the first Pac-12 Championship in league history.

The Bobcats are playing their inaugural Pac-12 schedule under head coach Sean Huiet, a home and home league slate against all eight conference opponents that has taken the program into entirely new territory this fall. San Diego State is one of those new conference opponents, and the Aztecs’ trip to San Marcos is the return half of the home and home.

Thursday’s match follows a home date with Fresno State on Saturday, November 7, and it closes the Bobcats’ home conference run before road trips to Colorado State and Fresno State finish the regular season. The first Pac-12 Championship follows the week of November 23, hosted by the school with the highest first half conference winning percentage.

Strahan Arena at the University Events Center, on University Drive in San Marcos, has been the Bobcats’ home floor through the transition, and a Thursday night conference match against a California visitor is exactly the kind of night the move to the Pac-12 was built to produce.

Finals week at LakePoint delivered everything Georgia high school volleyball could ask for: seven state championships, decided across two days at the LakePoint Sports Champions Center in Emerson, Georgia, with three finals played on Thursday, October 29, and four more on Saturday, October 31. There were first-time champions and repeat winners, sweeps and a five-set classic, and a historic breakthrough for Forsyth County. Here is how each championship was decided.

Two programs won a state title for the first time, while four others defended or repeated a championship and Bremen completed its climb from last season’s runner-up finish. Together, the seven finals offered a full picture of Georgia volleyball in 2026, from a historic first for Forsyth County to a five-set final decided in the fifth.

Class 7A: North Forsyth Makes History

North Forsyth beat Brookwood 3-1 to win the Class 7A championship, the first state title in North Forsyth program history and the first for any Forsyth County school. North Forsyth finished the season 35-2, while Brookwood finished 41-7. North Forsyth reached the final by beating seven-time champion Walton 3-2 in the semifinal. As reported by Score Atlanta, the set scores were 24-26, 25-17, 25-16, 25-19. That semifinal victory over Walton, a seven-time champion, underlined the size of the breakthrough before North Forsyth closed out Brookwood in four sets.

Class 6A: Woodward Academy Repeats

Woodward Academy beat McIntosh 3-0 on October 29 to win the Class 6A championship. It is Woodward’s 12th state title in program history and its second straight. Woodward swept top-seeded Pope 3-0 in the semifinal. McIntosh finished the season 35-9. Woodward’s path to the title included the semifinal sweep of top-seeded Pope, followed by another 3-0 win in the final.

Class 5A: Marist Goes Back to Back

Marist beat Blessed Trinity 3-1 to win the Class 5A championship. It is back-to-back titles for Marist, which won Class 4A in 2025 and moved up to 5A this season. Marist finished 40-3 with a 30-match win streak, while Blessed Trinity finished 44-9. Marist’s move up to 5A did not interrupt the winning run that carried it to 40-3.

Class 4A: Oconee County Wins a Five-Set Final

Oconee County beat Columbus 3-2 on October 29 to win the Class 4A championship, the first state title in program history. Columbus took the first set 25-22, Oconee County answered 25-17, Columbus won the third 25-18, and Oconee County closed the match 26-24 and 15-11. Oconee County finished 38-12, while Columbus finished 34-15. Oconee County’s Kiera Benning and Fendley Kimbro were Players of the Game, and Kimbro set a school record with 1,081 assists this season. The final swung back and forth before Oconee County took the last two sets to win the first title in program history.

Class 3A: Morgan County’s Third Straight Title

Morgan County beat Coahulla Creek 3-0 to win the Class 3A championship. It is Morgan County’s third straight state title, each one in a different classification — 2A in 2024, AA in 2025 and 3A in 2026. The championship run has now crossed three classifications in three seasons.

Class A/AA: Bremen Upsets the Top Seed

Bremen beat Gordon Lee 3-0 on October 29 to win the Class A/AA championship. Bremen, the No. 3 seed, beat the top seed and was the 2025 runner-up in this bracket. Bremen finished 34-10, while Gordon Lee finished 43-5. Bremen’s win turned the 2025 runner-up finish into a championship a year later.

Private (2A-4A): Lovett Repeats

Lovett beat Hebron Christian 3-0 to win the Private (2A-4A) championship. It is back-to-back Private titles for Lovett, in a repeat of the 2025 final. Lovett finished 36-6, while Hebron Christian finished 44-6.

Seven titles, two days and a championship week to remember at LakePoint. From North Forsyth’s first title to Morgan County’s third straight and Lovett’s repeat, the 2026 GHSA girls volleyball state finals delivered a fitting finish to the season.
