Three Acadiana area teams nab the top ranking with the release of the 2012 LHSAA Volleyball playoff brackets. St. Thomas More (Div. II), Notre Dame (Div. IV) and Episcopal of Acadiana (Div. V) all reached the championships games last year and seemed poised to do the same this postseason. The trio headlines an impressive group of area volleyball teams including the top three seeds in Division II: St. Thomas More, St. Martinville and Breaux Bridge. 22 teams in all will represent the area this postseason including two All-Acadiana affairs with New Iberia hosting Lafayette and Lafayette Christian Academy entertaining Delcambre. The state volleyball tournament (quarterfinal through championship) will be held November 8-10 at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner.
