HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Nocona suffers loss to Holliday on road
The Nocona High School volleyball team suffered a five-set loss at Holliday on Friday in the Lady Indians’ District 3A-9 opener.
Holliday took care of Nocona by scores of 25-22, 26-28, 25-18, 25-22, 15-9, and the Lady Indians dropped to 13-11, 0-1 on the season.
“We missed seven serves and had six net calls against us,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said. “When playing a good team like Holliday, we cannot make those mental errors.”
Nocona was uncharacteristically out of sync on defense, and Clay said Holliday “outplayed” her squad. The coach was happy to see the girls extend the Lady Eagles to five sets.
Payton Ferguson had a team-best 14 kills plus one solo ace block. Sherese Price added 12 kills and Jamie Carpenter seven.
Chloey Hamilton and Carpenter combined for 34 assists. Libero Magye Fenoglio was the lone Lady Indian in double digits for digs with 14, while Ali Walker had seven digs.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
