The Prairie Valley High School girls’ basketball team gave Graford a good game in non-district action on Tuesday.
Brooklyn Messer banked a 3-pointer to cut the Lady Rabbits lead to 40-36 with 1 minute, 48 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Prairie Valley had chances to make the score even closer, but the Lady Bulldogs were unable to do so and Graford recorded a 42-36 victory.
Prairie Valley head coach Jeanie Carpenter said this was the best the team had played all season, despite the loss.
“We played hard,” Carpenter said. “These girls scrapped it out for four long quarters. We have improved on defense, and are fouling less. That’s great considering most games there is no one on the bench.”
The Bulldog offense produced 36 points, keyed by 19 from Alley Roof. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

Visiting Tioga jumped out to a 16-0 lead and never let off the gas Friday night in a 50-13 win over Nocona on Senior Night at Jack Crain Stadium.
The Indians finished the season at 2-8 overall and 1-5 in district while Tioga goes to 4-5 overall and 4-2 in district..
Nocona Coach Jeff Hill said the Indians tried some different things early.
“We took some risks downfield early. Some worked and some didn’t,” Hill said. “We had four turnovers tonight and that didn’t help.”

It was a special day for Bowie girls basketball coach Matt Miller.
Miller picked up his 100th win with a 55-35 victory over Era, the place where he picked up his first win, on Saturday. Miller received a poster for his achievement and posed for a shot with team and family.
The Lady Rabbits built their lead throughout the game, getting out to a 22-4 lead after one. Laney Segura had seven points in the quarter while Laney Enlow had six. Parker Riddle had four and Brilee Lemons added a three-pointer, one of three for Bowie in the opening frame.

State rankings are a nice thing … if you show you deserve it.
Nocona and Hawley came into their Nov. 4 area round volleyball matchup both ranked in the top three in Class 2A Division I. Little more than an hour later, No.3 Nocona had shown it deserved its ranking with a 3-0 (25-22,25-19, 25-17) victory over No.2 Hawley before a good crowd at Brock High.
The Lady Indians up their record to 32-12 with the Lady ‘Cats having their season ended at 31-9. Nocona Coach Sandy Langford said her squad made some defensive adjustments against Hawley. “We made a lot of changes. We moved in defensively (closer to the net),” Langford noted. “From this level on, you have to make adjustments because everyone is going to be good.”
