The Gold-Burg Lady Bears continued their quest to get a win on Tuesday, traveling to Prairie Valley in District 2A-10 action.
However, Gold-Burg found itself on the business end of a straight-set loss 27-25, 25-19, 25-22.
Prairie Valley improved to 5-26 with a 2-10 in 2A-10 while Gold-Burg dropped to 0-25, 0-12.
“This was a very important game for both us and Gold-Burg” said Lady Bulldogs coach Jeannie Carpenter. “We worked very hard leading up to this game, knowing that they were working just as hard.”
Gold-Burg head volleyball coach Lyndsey Shaw chimed in.
“It wasn’t our greatest performance of the season,” she said. “But, it was still very competitive.”
The match certainly started out competitively, with Prairie Valley taking the first set 27-25. Both teams had leads in the second and third sets, but it was the Lady Bulldogs who prevailed in the end.

As a card-carrying member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Shadowland Giant Lone Star hosta.
Make no mistake, I don’t believe this hosta was discovered in the shady soil under a Texas Madrone in Guadalupe National Park. It was actually a sport or morphological change in s hosta named Key West. That sounds like a fairy tale story all its own.
But Shadowland Giant Lone Star has winner written all over it. It is large and has thick leaves. When 12 straight days of rain brought out a rainforest of slugs and other forest floor creatures, the bane of hosta growers everywhere, it didn’t load up with holes but simply got more beautiful.

Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Cloud petunia is having its debut year or thanks to Susan Middleton Turner in south Georgia’s zone 9 Miller County it’s breakout year.
Susan’s house looks quite like a movie set, and you would have to think that Supertunia Mini Vista petunias play a prominent role.
Last year it was the award-winning Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo that dazzled with incredible color. The petunias were planted in banister baskets across the front of the house. I featured her photos in an article I wrote about Mini Vista petunias.
