The Prairie Valley Bulldogs won their final home game before district play starts as it hosted Muenster Sacred Heart on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs won 53-47, but it was anything but easy sailing for most of the game.

“For the first half of the game we struggled offensively,” Coach Seth Stephens said. “We weren’t making a lot of shots. We played better in the second half offensively and were able to slow down their best player, which allowed us to build a lead. It was a back and forth game, but we finally got a big momentum shift when Tyler Reid had a big and1 play. That kind of got the guys fired up and we started to play better.”

The Tigers tried to make a comeback and cut into Prairie Valley’s lead, but the Bulldogs did just enough to get the win.

Nicholas Bell and Carter Lemon each had 11 points to lead Prairie Valley in scoring. James Gaston joined them in double digits as he scored 10 points.

The Bulldogs have one more game to play at Bryson on Friday before district play starts next week. Prairie Valley will be traveling to Bellevue on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.

Nocona Boys

The Nocona Indians were able to win a close game at home by double digits Tuesday night against Jacksboro.

The Indians pulled away in the fourth quarter to win 58-46.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
