HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Gold-Burg pushes Saint Jo to five

The Gold-Burg High School volleyball team has been playing harder since the introduction of Cheryl Cromleigh as the head coach.
That was assuredly on display Tuesday as the Lady Bears pushed District 2A-10 and Montague County rival Saint Jo to five games.
However, in the end, the Lady Panthers had just a little more offense than the Lady Bears, winning by scores of 25-7, 25-18, 21-25, 24-26, 15-13.
Saint Jo improved to 8-14, 2-2 in 2A-10 while Gold-Burg dropped to 3-21, 0-4. The Lady Panthers played at Valley View on Friday while Gold-Burg played at Prairie Valley.
“It was simply awesome how they fought,” Cromleigh said of the Lady Bears. “They never quit. They have really improved.”
Saint Jo also has a first-year head coach in Dakota Crockett, and they are learning her system on the fly.
“I think we made too many errors (in the third and fourth sets),” Crockett said. “Gold-Burg came back and played very well against us.”
Crockett said the Lady Panthers passing wasn’t as strong in the sets they lost. She said the five-set match against Collinsville earlier this season provided Saint Jo with the experience it needed to win the match.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
