Saint Jo
Saint Jo became the one team in the county to score a win in their opening game Friday night as the Panthers outgunned Fannindel at home.
It was a good old-fashioned shootout that can happen in six-man as both teams offenses could not be stopped for most of the night. The difference maker turned out to be the leg of kicker Mario Lopez, as his nine two-point kicks ended up being the difference in Saint Jo won 78-64.
Both teams scored 10 touchdowns so Lopez’s 18 points ended up being the difference in the game.
Preston Lyons made the Panthers go, scoring 5 touchdowns on the ground while rushing for 164 yards. Lyons also completed 10 passes for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns. Logan Morman led the team with 4 catches for 93 yards 2 touchdowns.
Coach Derek Schlieve felt he and his players adapted well to trying to take way the Falcons main strength.
“We thought initially we would be able to use our size advantage, but they were just so fast, we had to spread the field out and get their speed going in different directions,” Schlieve said. “By doing that, we were able to nickel and dime it down the field.”
Nocona
The Nocona Indians started their season at Boyd on Friday night.
After cutting the lead to 18-13 in the fourth quarter on a 34 yard Lane Geurin run, the Yellow Jackets scored 20 unanswered points to pull away as they won 38-13.
Coach Brad Keck felt like his offense did not have as much success as he was hoping and that his team is still trying to figure things out on that side of the ball.
“We need to get better at executing offensively,” Keck said. “We just did not execute. We are not going to add anything to the offense until we master the basics first.”
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears lost a heartbreaker as they opened the season at home against Notre Dame Prep Academy.
The Bears came up just short of completing their comeback as they lost 53-47. Down by a few scores in the fourth quarter, Gold-Burg was a pass interference call away from getting the ball back with 2 minutes to go to try and take the lead. Alas, it was not in the cards for the Bears.
“In my head, it was really like we are going to win this game,” Coach Gordon Williams said. “We are going to get this stop, go down and score and get this extra point to win.”

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.
