Young Saint Jo hosts Notre Dame
The Saint Jo Panthers had their first home game Tuesday night against Notre Dame from Wichita Falls despite most of the team missing due to football.
The young and inexperienced Panthers came up short against the Knights 46-38 in a game that was pretty competitive until the end.
The game was delayed due to a miscommunication with the referees. One showed up 30 minutes after the scheduled start and the teams agreed to start with one referee. The second showed up for the final quarter.
The first quarter was slow to get going for both teams in the physical game. Notre Dame only held a 10-9 lead after the first quarter.
Saint Jo got a boost in the second quarter as Brice Durham made two three-pointers and scored eight points. The Panthers held a narrow lead 23-22 at halftime despite the youth and inexperience.
Saint Jo started the third quarter great and built its biggest lead 30-23in the first two minutes.
From there the Panthers offense struggled while the Knights slowly clawed back and took back the lead to start the fourth quarter 33-31.
Saint Jo scored the first five points in a minute sequence with a three from Durham and a basket from older brother Brock Durham, to take a 36-33 lead with five minutes to go.
From there, the offense struggled as Notre Dame again took its time to come back and ultimately take the lead.
Down 37-36 with 2:20 to go, the Panthers forced a miss, but the Knights were there for the offensive rebound tip in to go up 39-36.
With a chance to tie the score with a little more than a minute left, Saint Jo turned the ball over and Notre Dame converted at the other end and was fouled in the process. The free throw was good to make the score 42-36.
The Panthers did score quickly, but the Knights scored twice more to ice the game and win 46-38.
Saint Jo hosts Sacred Heart at 2 p.m. on Dec. 3.

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.
