Saint Jo baseball beat Pirates; Lady Panthers lose to Muenster
Baseball
The Saint Jo Panthers’ baseball team was able to get revenge from earlier in the week with a win at Perrin-Whitt on Friday.
The Panthers won 4-1 in a game where they dominated more so than what the final score said.
Saint Jo racked up 11 hits in the game that probably should have produced more runs, but it all came together in the fourth inning.
Devin Stewart drove in a run with a single. Collin Thomas and Matthew Everson-Butler followed with RBI singles. Jace Johnson then hit a single that would have moved Everson-Butler to third base. An error handling the throw into the infield allowed him to score the fourth run of the inning to go up 4-0.
The Pirates scored their only run in the sixth inning on an RBI single following and error that allowed the runner to get on base.
That would go on to make the final score 4-1.
Softball
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers lost a tough one against 2A Lindsay on Friday.
The Lady Knights won 17-2 after three innings due to run-rule in a game where free bases again killed the Lady Panthers.
Most of the runs Lindsay scored came in the second inning. Saint Jo limited the Lady Knights to only four hits and committed only two fielding errors. Unfortunately, 14 walks and three hit batters were just too much to overcome.
The Lady Panthers scoring came in their final inning. Presley Deweese drew a one out walk to get on base. Krista Reeves followed by getting on base thanks to an error fielding her groundball.
Deweese would steal third base and Elaina Everson hit a groundball that induced another error that allowed her to score the team’s first run. Kayden Skidmore followed and hit into a fielder’s choice, but it allowed Reeves to score the team’s other run.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
