Volleyball Roundup
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians traveled to Sanger on Friday night.
It was a slow start, but Nocona beat Sanger in four sets.
The Lady Indians lost the first set 25-20, but would come back to win the next three sets with close scores of 30-28, 25-23 and 25-20.
Coach Tanya Samples was glad her team got the win, but laments that a lot of the damage was the frustrating self inflicted type.
Nocona next plays a tough dual at home on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. against Glen Rose and Brock.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears played in their first five set match on Friday against Quanah at home.
The Lady Bears came out on the wrong side, losing a game that got away from them.
Gold-Burg won the first two sets 25-17 and 25-23. Unfortunately, the Lady Indians picked up some momentum.
After winning the third set 25-20, Quanah was just able to edge out the Lady Bears in the fourth set with extra points 31-29. After that, the Lady Indians grabbed control in the fifth set, winning the 15-8.
There is a lot for Gold-Burg to learn from a tough loss like this. The Lady Bears next play at Perrin-Whitt at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 28.

Jacksboro defeats Lady Rabbit VB, 3-1
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
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.
