Gold-Burg’s boys’ and girls’ basketball teams played host to different opponents Tuesday night.
The Lady Bears opened District 1A-21 competition against Bellevue while the Bears played host Poolville’s junior varsity squad.
In the first game of the evening, the Lady Eagles soared on the road with a huge 79-12 win.
“It was a really good first step for opening the district,” said Bellevue coach Bryan Goehring.
“We’re just focusing on progress,” said Gold-Burg coach Lyndsey Shaw. “We scored more against them the second time, and with fewer girls.”
The Lady Bears offensive struggles continued into the first quarter of this game – down 26-4 after one. The struggles continued as a six-point fourth quarter was the best they could muster in the defeat.
“We have a lot of work to do on offense,” Shaw said. “We struggle with keeping the ball in our control playing against teams like Bellevue.”
Bellevue, meanwhile, was firing on all cylinders throughout the game.
The Lady Eagles were relentless in the first three quarters, scoring at least 20 points in each quarter.
Goehring said the team mixed it up through the game, starting by pressing their opponent, then moving into man-to-man play and finishing with a 2-3 zone scheme. Read more, and see complete box scores, in the weekend Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

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.
