Lady Horns volleyball beats Bellevue
Despite being district opponents, Bellevue traveled to Forestburg on Tuesday night for an early peek at the other.
The Lady Horns got it done in straight sets to win their second straight game of the season while the Lady Eagles saw some good moments in their short time together.
Forestburg was coming off a dominant win against Valley View last week and was hoping to carry that momentum against an opponent it felt confident it could win.
Bellevue has struggled early in the season as the volleyball program is alive for the first time in years and most of the team’s players have no experience with the sport before this season.
The Lady Eagles have not won, but was coming off their most competitive set in their final match of their first tournament at Poolville against Lingleville.
The first set saw Forestburg pull away from a close 11-9 lead to a 21-14 lead. From there, the Lady Horns closed the set off with confidence, winning 25-17.
The second set saw Forestburg carry that momentum into the beginning points. The Lady Horns were up 13-7, but Bellevue cut it to 14-11 to make it close for a second.
After that, Forestburg ran away with the second half of the set, winning 11 of the last 15 points to win 25-15.
Maybe a bit of complacency seeped in from the Lady Horns. Maybe the Lady Eagles were tired chasing from behind.
Whatever it was, Bellevue started the third set by scoring the first six points and feeling more confident than it had all season.
Forestburg started to score some points, but it did fall behind by the biggest margin down 14-6.
The Lady Horns came all the way back to eventually tie the score at 19-19.
From there until the end of the match the scores were back and forth with neither team able to build a safe lead heading into the final points.
In the end, it was Forestburg who came out on top in extra points, winning 27-25 to win the match 3-0.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
