The Forestburg closed out the home portion of the 2014 season playing Prairie Valley on Friday evening.
The Lady Horns improved their record to 20-15 overall, and 6-7 in District 10-2A after a straight-set victory by the scores of 25-15, 25-11, 25-13.
Prairie Valley fell to 5-27, 2-11.
“The team played well,” said Lady Horns coach Rosana Barbosa. “They received and passed the ball well.”
After the match, the two senior players, Virginia Cody and Kendall Wallace, were honored during homecoming festivities at the Horns football game against Gold-Burg. Later that night, Wallace was named Homecoming Queen.
“They were our team captains,” Barbosa said. “They did a great job motivating and keeping the team together.”
Haley Nolan paced the Lady Horns with seven kills, three digs, two assists and an ace serve.
Hope Phipps recorded four kills, four assists and five aces. Wallace tallied three kills and two assists. Cody added two kills and eight assists.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
