In its first playoff game of 2026, Saint Jo took control after a slow start and wound up cruising past Garner 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-16) in a Class A area round game Nov. 2.
The Lady Panthers will face Strawn, which swept Crowell in the area round, next. No further details were available as of press time.
The Lady Longhorns showed they were ready to play in the early going, getting out to a 9-4 lead in game one. Saint Jo broke serve and used a pair of Kamron Skidmore points, aided by Savannah Hill kills on both points to get within one.
Garner led by six midway through the set before Hill’s five-point serving run, helped along by a Skidmore kill to draw within 13-14. A Skidmore kill was followed by two Skidmore points, including an ace, to tie the game at 19.

For the second year, Montague County All-Stars hosted its annual Fall Games at Saint Jo High School Oct. 21.
Representatives from nearly every county elementary and high school took part in the day-long event. Students with assorted disabilities learned how to play basketball in the morning and volleyball in the afternoon.
Helping teach the finer points of both games were players and coaches from all the area high schools. Individual skills such as passing, dribbling, and shooting were taught in one of the school’s gyms before athletes were broken up into teams and played timed games in the other gym.
Some of the younger athletes had issues with the ball dribbling and got hit in the nose. Eventually they all got the hang of it, one even getting a basket.
