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, 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.
