The Port Isabel Lady Tarpons, playing in a raucously loud Tarpon Gym, knocked off district leader La Feria in five sets to pull themselves into a three-way tie for the District 16-4A (Division II) championship.

The team had already clinched a playoff spot and it was just a question of where they would be seeded at the end of the district season. Zapata beat Rio Hondo, also on Tuesday night, and PI, La Feria, and Zapata each finished with 12-2 district records. La Feria and Zapata are the other two playoff teams from District 16-4A (Division II).

Because each team split their two games with the other two teams, it is necessary to have a “play-in” tournament to determine the seedings. Here is how it shakes out.
