HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Eagle girls break little sweat

Bellevue High School first-year girls’ basketball coach Bryan Goehring should be pleased with recent developments for the Lady Eagles.
The team is showing signs of cohesion, and that was on full display in Tuesday’s District 1A-21 victory over Prairie Valley 68-28.
“I thought Tuesday night was the first consistent game the girls have played for all four quarters,” Goehring noted. “Our defense got stronger as the game went on and our offense stayed steady throughout the game.
“The girls keep working hard in practice,” the coach added, “and keep their eyes on the goal of this season, which is to make the playoffs.”
Even though there are a slew of district games remaining, it’s becoming clear Bellevue’s girls resemble a team that will be featured on the postseason dance card.
The game was foreshadowed by a medical emergency involving Prairie Valley senior post player Amber Wood, who fell ill during the boys’ game.
Prairie Valley and Bellevue were knotted at 8-all in the first quarter when Hannah McWilliams connected on a pair of back-to-back buckets. McWilliams first made a baseline shot, and followed that with a layup on the Lady Eagles’ next possession.
Bellevue didn’t relinquish the lead for the remainder of the game.

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.
