The Nocona Lady Indians defeated Henrietta in a rare Wednesday night game to win their first district game of the season.
The game against the rival teams was originally scheduled for Tuesday night when citizens of Henrietta experienced a wide-spread power outage that included Henrietta High School.
The outage forced the teams to move the competition to Wednesday night, where Nocona defeated Henrietta 25-20, 25-20, 27-29 and 26-24.
“We jumped out on them early in the first set with serving aggressively and getting them out of system,” said Head Coach Tiffany Clay. “Our serve receive passes were good and when we have a good receiving game it allows other areas of the game to come together.”
Leading the team on passing digs was Angel Rhudy with 20 of the team’s outstanding 126 digs. Magye Fenoglio contributed 19 to the total, with Patty Espinoza and Karson Phipps adding 14 each. Read more in the Sept. 17 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 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.
