Nocona
The Nocona Indians had a good showing at the Highway 82 tournament last week at Bells/Bonham.
The Indians went 3-1 overall and competed well in games that almost all were decided by single-digit deficits.
Nocona won against Honey Grove 45-40 as Michael Wetmore led the team with 14 points.
The next game against Grand Saline was the only hiccup of the tournament as the Indians lost 56-49 thanks to a lack of rebounding and forced shots according to Coach Brody Wilson.
Wetmore again scored a team high 18 points while Ryder Oswald joined him in double-figures with 14.
The team rebounded with its most dominant win of the tournament against Tom Bean, winning 61-39.
Brady McCasland led the team with 24 points while Wetmore joined him in double-figures with 10 points.
Finally, Nocona finished the tournament with a 53-45 win against Lindsay. Wetmore led the team with 18 pints while McCasland was not far behind scoring 14 points.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears won big against Ranger on Friday night.
The Bears won 46-28 in a game where once things started rolling, it went right for Gold-Burg.
The Bears were down after the first quarter, trailing 11-8 to the Bulldogs, but the defense came alive in the second quarter allowing only one point to be scored before halftime.
This allowed Gold-Burg to take the lead and control of the game for the final two quarters.
Aidan Foster led the team with 15 points.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Bulldogs lost a tough defensive game at Tioga on Friday night.
Tioga won 42-30 in a game where one bad quarter made all the difference.
After a competitive first half, Tioga went on a 17-8 run in the third quarter to open up a double-digit lead heading into the fourth quarter. Prairie valley could not recover with only one quarter left to play.
Tyler Winkler led the team with 13 points while Trae Campbell was second with 11 points.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns got blitzed at home by private school Victory Christian on Friday night.
The Patriots won 81-42 in a game that got out of hand in the second quarter.
The young Longhorn team actually played Victory close in the first quarter as both teams were putting the ball in the basket.
Forestburg trailed only 18-16 despite its lead post player getting into early foul trouble.
All of that intrigue melted away as the Patriots started to dial up the pressure, bringing a half-court trapping style defense that rattled the Longhorns and created a lot of opportunities in transition. On top of that, Victory started making 3-pointers at an efficient clip in the half-court and started to run away with it.
Jesus Sanchez and Jesse Wadsworth led the team with 14 points each. Kyler Willett had a team high 15 rebounds to go with seven points.

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.

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.
