The Benjamin Lady Mustangs swept Gold-Burg in three games when the teams faced off Aug. 26.
The Lady Bears were defeated 25-15, 25-21, 25-20 as they struggled to get a ball past the visiting team.
“Our team played well, but we could not get anything by them,” said Gold-Burg head coach Cheryl Cromleigh. “They got to everything.”
Benjamin brought a strong team who has played together since they were little, including a tall hitter who had the ability to play from every position.
Gold-Burg improved on their serving in the game against the Lady Mustangs with a total of 18 aces. Hannah Franklin provided six of those, with Haley Davis adding five.
Shelby Horton supplied 10 of the team’s 24 assists.
Every member of the team provided at least one kill in the game for a total of 27.

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 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.
