Countywide volleyball scores from Tuesday night
Tuesday night was the first night of regular season games for most volleyball teams around the county.
All teams in the county except for Bowie and Forestburg played games, with the Lady Horns scrimmaging Chico at home and the Lady Rabbits having played the previous night at Midwestern State University against Archer City.
Saint Jo also played the previous night at MSU and lost to 3A Henrietta in straight sets 3-0. They were able to avenge that loss Tuesday night at Perrin Whitt, a 2A school, by beating them in straight sets.
The scores were 25-18 in the first set, and 25-21 in the second and third set. Hannah Reyling led the team in kills, Kaitlyn Harris in assists and Emily Haney in digs. They next play at Gainesville on Tuesday.
Gold-Burg played at 2A Savoy and got a huge test. After dropping the first set 25-20, the Lady Bears lost close second set 26-24. With the huge hole dug for themselves, Gold-Burg did their best to try and climb out.
They won the third set 25-19 and the fourth 25-22 to force a fifth and final set. Unfortunately, that momentum could not get them the win as they lost the fifth set 15-11.
Prairie Valley got a double dose of action Tuesday night at home, experiencing the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
In their first game they played 2A Chillicothe. Unfortunately, the Lady Bulldogs played like it was their first game against Chillicothe, losing in straight sets 25-15, 25-11, 25-14. Prairie Valley had a chance at redemption later that night when they took on 2A Quanah. After losing the first set 25-18, the Lady Bulldogs were able to completely dominate the second set, winning 25-10.
The third and fourth sets were more competitive, with both teams in position to win either one if some plays went their way. Prairie Valley won the third set 25-23, but could not wrap up the match, losing the fourth set by the same score to force a fifth set.
The Lady Bulldogs were able to get a lead and win by a comfortable 15-9 margin to get their first win of the season.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.
Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
