HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Nocona falls in three

The Callisburg High School volleyball team jumped to 19th in the latest Texas Girls Coaches Association Conference 3A poll.
The Lady Cats are talented, and they force opponents into feeling uncomfortable.
That was certainly the case Tuesday as Callisburg swept Nocona in three 25-18, 25-22, 25-22, dropping Nocona to 13-11 on the season.
It wasn’t about to get any easier for Nocona, who traveled to Holliday for the District 3A-9 opener on Friday.
“Callisburg is a defensively sound team,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said. “It’s hard to put the ball down on them. I knew this game was going to be tough as they came off our tournament playing some really great matches.”
Clay said Callisburg had fewer unforced errors and Nocona’s serve receive could have been better, despite the Lady Cats’ aggressive placements.
Nocona found itself down by several points in each of the sets, and couldn’t quite rally past Callisburg, especially in the second and third sets.
Libero Magye Fenoglio scooped up a team-best 35 digs while Henley Davis had a season-best 15 digs and Angel Rhudy 14. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.
