For the first time ever, the Texas Advantage Volleyball Club will be having a regular-season high school tournament.
And both the Bowie and Nocona High School programs will be participants at the event, set for Aug. 14 and 15 at the Advantage Sports Complex in Carrollton.
During the first weekend of the regular season last year, Bowie competed at the North Central Texas College Tournament in Gainesville while Nocona competed at the Denton Ryan Tournament.
“We wanted a change of scenery,” said second-year Nocona volleyball coach Tiffany Clay. “They (Texas Advantage) asked to see if we’d be interested, and we said ‘yes.’”
Clay said it will be a memorable experience for Nocona’s volleyball players, competing at the facility of such a prestigious club.
“It’s a big deal for us,” she said. “They are looking to help all Texas high schools improve, including the small schools.”
The Texas Advantage Team Camp took place on Thursday and Friday at Bowie High School, with the Lady Rabbits, Lady Indians, Petrolia, Henrietta and Iowa Park all in action.
In addition to the TAV camp, Nocona had a tournament in early July put on by Gold Medal Squared.
“It was a great camp and we worked a lot,” Clay said. “It was four days, seven hours per day.”
TAV director L.J. Sariego said the organization is eager to have the tournament. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

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.
