Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs got a big test playing at 2A Archer City on Tuesday.
The Lady Cats won in straight sets with set scores of 25-13, 25-7 and 25-17. Emily Carpenter led the team with 11 kills and Veronica Gutierrez had 14 assists.
Coach Jeannie Carpenter thought her team played better than the scores indicated against the bigger Archer City team.
Besides a loss, the game was more to get ready for the team’s rematch against Bryson on Oct. 24.
Coming up just short in a five-set match a couple of days before, the teams match up again with the district title and playoff seeding stakes on the line.
The match is at 10 a.m. at Bryson.
