There are so many connections for everyone involved at the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” Tournament, and this year proves no different.
The tournament is named in honor of Lane Fenoglio, who was killed in an auto accident on July 11, 1998, the summer before what would have been her sophomore year at Nocona High School.
“It’s so nice to see Lane’s memory kept alive,” said Lane’s mother, Janna Fenoglio.
The tournament will take place on Thursday and Saturday, Sept. 4 and 6 at various places in Nocona, including all three school gymnasiums as well as Baptist gym and “The Dome” in Saint Jo.
This year, Anderson-Shiro will travel up and compete in the same bracket as Bowie, along with Sanger, Ponder and Celina. All these teams will comprise Pool F.
Nocona is in Pool E, with pesky Petrolia, Bryson, Dodd City and Bonham. The Nocona JV will play in Pool A along with S&S Consolidated of Sadler, Henrietta, City View, Archer City and Burkburnett.
Tickets cost $6 for adults and $2 for students. There will be no charge for students attending Thursday’s matches.
Janna Fenoglio said Anderson-Shiro will stay at the Veranda Inn, and it marks a homecoming for one of the mothers.
Kathy Walker-Sayers, formerly of Ringgold, was Lane’s babysitter when she was young. Walker-Sayers’ daughter, Keaton, plays for Anderson-Shiro. Read more of the story in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
