Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians started the second round of district at home Tuesday against City View.
Needing to win every game before heading into their rematch against Holliday next week, the Lady Indians took care of business against the Lady Mustangs, beating them in straight sets.
While they easily won the first set 25-10, City View made it a struggle for Nocona in the final two sets. The scores ended up being a bit closer than expected as the Lady Indians won 25-19 and 25-22.
Averee Kleinhans led the team with 12 kills and 11 digs. Rachel Patrick was right behind with 11 kills while Trystin Fenoglio led the team with 29 assists. Laramie Hayes had a team high five blocks and tied Kleinhans with 11 digs.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs went up against district powerhouse Windthorst on Tuesday at home.
While they gave everything they could, it was not enough to steal a set off the Lady Trojans as Prairie Valley lost 25-10, 25-13, 25-9.
Kincaid Johnson and Shelby Roof led the Lady Bulldogs with five kills each. Sydni Messer led the team with six assists while Emily Carpenter had a team high 10 digs and two blocks.
Prairie Valley will get tested again against Archer City as they play at 10 a.m. on Oct. 13 on the road.
Saint Jo
It was a struggle for the Saint Jo Lady Panthers on Tuesday as they played at Lindsay.
Facing a 2A team that has yet to lose a game in district and has beaten several bigger schools, the Lady Panthers had their work cut out for them. Saint Jo did their best, but could not steal a set or make the girls from Lindsay sweat too much as they lost 25-10, 25-12, 25-7.
The Lady Panthers next play Collinsville at 5 p.m. on Oct. 16 on the road.
Gold-Burg
It was always going to be a tough game for the Gold-Burg Lady Bears as they hosted district power Archer City on Tuesday.
Hoping to replicate their first matchup that saw them make the Lady Cats sweat a little bit in a few sets, the Lady Bears just wanted to compete with them. Archer City came out and never let their foot off the gas as they won each set in a one-sided fashion 25-8, 25-1, 25-5.
Gold-Burg next plays at 10 a.m. on Oct. 13 on the road.
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.
