Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost a close one at Millsap on Tuesday night.
The Lady Rabbits lost a back and forth game in a tight fifth set that could have gone either way.
It was a match no one deserves to lose, but someone has to.
Bowie pulled out a close win in the first set 25-23, but fell behind in the second to lose by not a close margin 25-16 as the Lady Bulldogs tied the match at 1-1.
The Lady Rabbits bounced back in a well-played third set to win 25-21 to take the lead. The fourth set was back and forth, with neither team able to pull ahead by much.
It ended much like the first set with the team pulling out the narrowest of victories, only this time it was Millsap who won 25-23 to force a fifth and final set.
The final scores ended up being another won by the smallest of margins, though unfortunately it was the Lady Bulldogs who came out on top to win 15-13.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost a close match at Windthorst on Tuesday that went down to the wire.
It was the Lady Trojans who ended up coming back to win in five sets as the Lady Indians faced adversity.
The first two sets were back and forth as the teams traded set wins both with scores 25-21.
Nocona won the third set 25-20 to take the lead, but Windthorst would again come back to win 25-21 to force a fifth and final set.
The Lady Trojans built a little bit of a lead the Lady Indians could not come back from as they lost the set 15-9 and the match 3-2.

Prairie Valley vs Saint Jo
It was an early season match up of a possible playoff game as Prairie Valley traveled to Saint Jo on Tuesday.
The Lady Bulldogs got the win on the road in straight sets against a young Lady Panthers team, getting a bit of revenge since Saint Jo ended their season last year in the playoffs.
These teams have met each other in the playoffs each of the last three years, with the Lady Panthers winning two of the three times.
The Lady Bulldogs won handedly in straight sets with scores 25-12, 25-13 and 25-18.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
