Prairie Valley vs Bellevue
Prairie Valley hosted the top team in the district Bellevue on Tuesday night and gave the Lady Eagles a game they did not see in the first matchup.
Bellevue won 59-39, but it was not until the third quarter when the run from the Lady Eagles came through.
The first half saw the Lady Bulldogs hang in there and play Bellevue’s game, breaking the press and taking shots on their terms against an Eagles team that likes to get up and down the floor.
Bellevue led by only five at halftime, but came out in the second half ready to put the game away, which led to the final margin being 59-39.
For Prairie Valley, Kincaid Johnson led the team with 15 points and seven rebounds. Sydni Messer joined her in double figures with 11 points.
Lady Bulldog Coach Jeannie Carpenter liked how her team competed.
Saint Jo vs Forestburg
The rivalry game of Saint Jo and Forestburg lived up to its title on Tuesday night in Saint Jo.
It was the Lady Panthers who came out ahead in the end in a closely fought 42-39 win.
Saint Jo started the game slow in the beginning, but defensive adjustments made at halftime turned out to be the difference in the game.
Seniors Charity Brawner and Emily Haney led the way with 19 and 15 points as the Lady Panthers kept itself in line for the third seed in district.
For Forestburg Lacy Huddleston led the team with 15 points while adding nine rebounds. Faith Moore and Morgan Miller each scored seven points while Kassidy Travis pulled down a team leading 11 rebounds.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears lost a tough one against Midway on Tuesday night at home.
The Lady Falcons won 51-40 against the Lady Bears who are searching for their first district win of the season. It was unfortunate because it was one of Bears most balanced scoring games of the season.
Kelly Contreras and Taylor Lyons still led the team, scoring 13 and 10 points, but Ashlynn Smith had eight and Preslie Darden finished with six.
A low scoring third quarter proved to be the big difference in the game for Gold-Burg. Coach Cheryl Cromleigh was proud in how well her team played and how competitive the game was.

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.
