Prairie Valley vs Gold-Burg
Prairie Valley had a memorable senior night playing Gold-Burg on Tuesday as an offensive shootout erupted.
The Bulldogs won 89-71 against the Bears as senior Isaac Yeargin scored 43 points while making 13 3-pointers.
It wasn’t close for most of the game as Prairie Valley seemed to find open shots at will against Gold-Burg’s zone defense. Yeargin did not miss many of them and neither did Tyler Winkler. Not to be overshadowed, Winkler scored 33 points while making seven 3-pointers himself.
The Bears tried to hang with the hot shooting Bulldogs by drawing a lot of free throws, crashing the offensive glass and scoring in the post in the second half.
Despite how well his team was scoring the ball, Prairie Valley Coach Seth Stephens was pulling his hair out of his head at times as his team had to deal with foul issues and not matching up well against the more physical Bears inside.
Kani Grace scored 24 points to lead Gold-Burg while Kolton Whitaker joined him in double-figures scoring 17 points. Coach Jesse Vaughn knew the Bulldogs would come out excited for senior night and once they got going he hoped they could start missing.
It was disappointing for a Gold-Burg team that has continued to get better as the season went along. The Bears won 56-39 against Forestburg the previous night. Whitaker led the team with 25 points while Jayon Grace was second with nine points.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers picked up one-sided wins against on Monday and Tuesday against Bellevue and Forestburg.
The Panthers beat the Eagles 54-23 on Monday before turning around and winning at Forestburg 46-18 on Tuesday.
Saint Jo was hoping to play better the second time around against Bellevue after the Eagles almost narrowly beat the Panthers in the first game.
Saint Jo’s intense defense allowed the team to get out to a 28-9 lead at halftime despite the team not shooting particularly well.
Kile Thurman led the team with 17 points while Logan Brawner picked up a double-double on senior night, scoring 12 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
It much of the same story the next night against a young Longhorn team.
The defense locked down Forestburg for most of the night, but offensively the team continued its shooting woes that also extended to the free throw line. Saint Jo went 11-33 from the charity stripe which sent Coach Lyndon Cook into a tizzy.
Thurman and Brice Durham both led the team with 12 points. Thurman also had five assists and five steals to lead the team.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns lost two tough games on Monday and Tuesday against Gold-Burg and Saint Jo.
The Bears won 56-39 on Monday and the Panthers won 46-18 on Tuesday.
Jesus Sanchez led the Longhorns with 14 points and four made 3-pointers in the game against Gold-Burg. Braxton Osteen was second with nine points.
Against Saint Jo, Sanchez and Kyler Willett lead the way scoring six points each.
Forestburg’s last regular season game was on Friday against Bellevue at home.

Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Panthers got out of their early season funk as they beat fellow 1A Bellevue twice last week on two different days.
The Panthers won the first high-scoring game 15-9 before shut out the Eagles 10-0 in the second game.
Saint Jo had a rough beginning to its season, with mostly ugly losses and only one win.
Bellevue came in with no wins, but it was not unexpected due to it being the Eagles first year as a program since the late 1990s.
Bellevue led the first game for most of it scoring five runs in the first inning and just holding off the Panthers 5-4 heading into the sixth inning.
Saint Jo then caught fire, scoring six runs in the sixth inning to take its first lead since the first inning. The Eagles kept it close and scored four runs to make it a one run game 10-9 heading into the final inning.
The game had to be postponed due to Bellevue’s new field not having any lights to play past a certain time.
When the game was picked up three days later, the Panthers added five more run to their lead. The Eagles could not answer and Saint Jo won the game 15-9.
Devein Stewart and Logan Hoover led the Panthers four RBIs each while Charlie Evans and R Forrester drove in two runs each.
Trent Gaston pitched 4.1 innings and allowed two runs and struck out seven batters to lead the team.
Saint Jo’s defense committed four errors.
For Bellevue, Brayden Moore led the team with three RBIs while Bryce Ramsey and Ryan Jones each drove in two runs.
Ramsey pitched five innings and allowed four runs while striking out nine batters to lead the team.
The second game picked up right after the end of the first game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the second game went similarly to the end of first game.
Saint Jo scored three runs in the first inning, four in the second inning and three in the third inning.
The Panther defense shut out Bellevue and the game ended with Saint Jo winning 10-0 after four and half innings due to run rule.
Sam Martin led the Panthers with four RBIs while Evans drove in two runs. Stewart pitched three innings and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out six batters. Hoover pitched two innings and struck out four batters while allowing no hits and walking two batters. The team committed no fielding errors.
For Bellevue, River Trail got the only hit in the game for the team. The team drew three walks, but could not get on base.
Blake Reese led the team with two innings pitched and three earned runs on two hits and five walks while striking out two batters. The defense committed no fielding errors.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost their second game against Muenster on Friday on the road.
The Indians lost 10-0 after five innings due to run-rule as the Hornets picked up all of their runs in one horrible inning for Nocona.
The score was tied at 0-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning. The Indian defense had navigated one out singles the first two innings without letting it morph into anything threatening.
Unfortunately, the third inning saw Muenster get going from the first batter.
Five singles, two doubles, two walks and a hit batter later saw the Hornets score 10 runs.
Nocona’s bats had been able to get someone on base in most innings despite Walker Murphey getting the team’s only base hit, but could not get a run to score.
The Indian defense did bounce back to not allow any runs in the fourth or fifth inning, but with no runs coming through for Nocona, the game ended after five innings.
Muenster won 10-0.
