First-year Gold-Burg High School Head Volleyball Coach Lyndsey Shaw said Aug. 4 can’t get here fast enough.
“I’m very excited (to start the season),” said Shaw, who returns to her native Montague County after spending the past several seasons coaching at Clifton. “I’ve been going stir crazy at home. I’m ready to work and get it started.”
This week, Shaw has updated the Gold-Burg website with the Bears’ season practice schedule.
On Aug. 4, the first acceptable date the University Interscholastic League allows for practice, the Bears will begin two-a-days.
From 7:30-8:30 a.m., there will be a conditioning session followed by a 30-minute break. Then, there will be skill work and drills from 9-11 a.m.
On Aug. 8, Gold-Burg will play in a three-team scrimmage at Perrin with Millsap. The regular season opens several days later on Aug. 12 as the Bears travel to Electra.
The home opener won’t take place until Aug. 26 against Graford, followed by another home match on Aug. 28 against the Wichita Falls Heat, a team featuring homeschooled student-athletes.
The Bears play in one regular-season tournament at Chico, which will also feature fellow county schools Saint Jo, Prairie Valley and Forestburg. Shaw previously coached at Chico. See more of this story, including a season schedule, in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
