AREA VOLLEYBALL: Sanger tops Nocona in home debut
The Nocona High School volleyball team lost its home opener on Friday to Sanger by scores of 25-19, 27-25, 25-19.
The Indians stand at 8-8, and they played Melissa on Tuesday evening.
Chloey Hamilton and Jamie Carpenter both dished off 12 assists in the loss. Sherese Price pounded down a team-best nine kills. Both Price and Mackie Trumbull put up four solo ace blocks.
Kady Hackley added six kills, Makenzie Breeze three solo ace blocks and Magye Fenoglio had a team-best nine digs from her libero spot.
“I applaud Sanger on their defense,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said. “They were very scrappy and we had to work to put the ball down on them. The game resulted in a lot of long rallies, and a week ago we would’ve won about 25 percent of those rallies.”
Bryson takes care of Saint Jo
Saint Jo tried staying stride for stride with Bryson in the opening set of Saturday’s match in Saint Jo, however, the Panthers couldn’t keep up and the Cowgirls eventually won in three by scores of 25-18, 25-13, 25-12.
“The Lady Panthers fought hard against Bryson,” Saint Jo head coach Kristi Tallon said. “We still have a few things to work on.”
Tallon said the team needs work on transition and serve receive.
Hunter Tallon played a strong all-around game with two kills, six digs and three assists. Karla Fernandez scooped up a team-best eight digs to go with four assists and one solo ace block.
Saint Jo stands at 5-11. The Panthers were involved in a triangular on Tuesday at Petrolia with Wichita Falls Christian. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.
