Nocona takes bi-district title after sweep against Peaster

Published

on

The Nocona Lady Indians are moving on to the area round of playoffs after sweeping Peaster on Tuesday night in Bridgeport by scores of 25-19, 25-17 and 25-21.

The bi-district champions will play their second game of the 2018 postseason against Clyde in the area round at 2 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Graham High School.

“I feel like we executed our game plan well,” said Nocona Lady Indians Coach Tiffany Clay. “We played pretty consistently all three sets. I don’t think it was one of our most aggressive games we have played, but we limited our errors and had several long rallies that we won.”

After winning the first two sets by a fairly large margin, the Lady Indians entered the third with all the momentum after a hustle play from Laramie Hayes and Averee Kleinhans on game point of the second set. While the third set was the closest of the match, the Lady Indians closed it out to take the bi-district title.

Kleinhans powered the Lady Indian offense in the three-set win, putting down 12 kills, one ace and providing 16 digs. Ella Nunneley also didn’t make it easy for the Lady Greyhounds with nine kills, one ace and six digs.

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

Published

on

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.
