YOUTH VOLLEYBALL: Montague wins Wichita tourney
The Montague School volleyball team played in the Jerry Allen Memorial Tournament at Wichita Christian School on Saturday.
It was a successful day for the Eagles, who won the eighth-grade “A” division bracket at the event.
“I played club volleyball for him in high school, so it was a bittersweet win,” Montague coach Angela Kleinhans said.
Montague defeated Christ Academy in three sets by scores of 25-17, 19-25, 25-23 for the championship.
“The team was down 19-13 in the third set,” Kleinhans said. “These girls have so much heart and love to win. It was a very fun season. Each girl on the team improved so much.”
Kleinhans called it a “determined” group of players.
Earlier in pool play, Montague defeated Electra 15-11, 15-12 and then Notre Dame 15-4, 15-8. The Eagles split matches with Christ Academy 15-11, 13-15 and Wichita Christian 13-15, 15-7.
Montague finished the district schedule unbeaten on Monday, defeating Gold-Burg 25-12, 25-5.
Eighth-grader Isabel Valdez finished the tournament with 12 ace serves.
Seventh-grader Trystin Fenoglio ended with six aces, two digs, two kills and 32 assists. Hope Howard contributed one ace block, four ace serves, 16 kills and seven assists. Mikey Jordan also chipped in to the team’s success.

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.
