Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs lost a tough five-set match to Vernon Northside at home on Tuesday.
The Lady Bulldogs lost the match 3-2 after winning the first two sets of the match.
Prairie Valley came ready to play while Coach Jeannie Carpenter thought the Lady Indians might have come in with a bit too much confidence.
Mistakes from Vernon Northside were feasted on by the Lady Bulldogs at the net as they won the first two sets with scores of 25-16 and 25-22.
The Lady Indians woke up and started using their athleticism to their advantage winning the next two sets in one-sided fashion 25-13 and 25-14 to force a fifth set. By that point, Prairie Valley could not summon the energy to turn the momentum, losing the fifth set 15-8 and the match.

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.
