The Lady Horns played well against the defending Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) Division II state champion in the first set, but faltered towards the end.
“We had a very off day against a good team,” Forestburg head coach Rosana Barbosa said.
The opposite occurred in the second set as Forestburg got off to a slow start, but challenged the Lady Knights late.

Bowie’s Nathan Rodgers signed his letter of intent to run cross country and track at Ranger College.
The senior, who is the son of Ryan and Jessica Rodgers, has spent the past three years running on the varsity cross country team as one of its top runners. He helped the team win the district title in 2020 and has helped the Jackrabbits to team district runner-up finishes in 2021 and 2022.
While running in the regional meet the past three years, Rodgers had his best finish this past fall at 32nd.
Rodgers also played varsity basketball his senior year and helped the Jackrabbits make it to the regional quarterfinals.
“Ranger offered me quite a good deal,” Rodgers said. “The coach is a good one who will develop me and make me better. I already met some of my teammates so we already have that bond. All around it was just a good college.”
