Volleyball Roundup
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians did well at their second tournament, winning the consolation title in the gold bracket at Graham’s Lu Allen Tournament.
The Lady Indians went 5-2 overall and beat some tough teams from the area, some of them from bigger schools.
Nocona earned straight set wins against Iowa Park, Klondike and Aspermont while losing to eventual tournament champion West Plains in straight sets during pool play.
It was still good enough to qualify for the gold bracket. Unfortunately, the Lady Indians lost their first match of bracket play to eventual third place finisher Fairfield.
Nocona bounced back to beat Pampa in its next game easily to qualify for the consolation championship game where it met Peaster. After losing the first set handily, the Lady Indians gritted their teeth and eked out close set wins 26-24 and 25-22 to win the match and the consolation championship.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs won the consolation title at the Electra Tournament last week.
The Lady Bulldogs went 3-3 overall as they brought home some hardware from their second tournament of the season.
Prairie Valley lost matches to Electra and Crowell in straight sets on the first day, but came back from losing the first set against Olney to win the match and go 1-3 the first day.
During bracket play, the team went up against Albany and lost in straight sets, being sent down the consolation route.
This set up a rematch against Olney. It went to three sets, but once against the Lady Bulldogs came through to win and advance to the championship game.
There Prairie Valley played Chillicothe. Again down after the set, the Lady Bulldogs came bouncing back, winning the final two sets to win the consolation championship.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles played in their first tournament at Poolville last week.
The Lady Eagles did not come away with a win, going 0-4, but they did play better in their final match.
Bellevue lost in straight sets against Garner, Alvord and Poolville. The final match against Lingleville also was lost in straight set, but the Lady Eagles did have their closest set of the season losing 25-20 in the final one.
Coach Mollee Kirk knows her team is struggling as they get used to playing volleyball. Having lost every set, let alone every match so far this year, she is doing her best to keep the team getting better so it can build towards its success.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns won at Valley View on Friday night.
The Lady Horns took care of business in straight sets against the Lady Eagles.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears lost at 2A Chico on Friday night.
The Lady Dragons won in straight sets as the Lady Bears only got going in the final set.
Chico won with set scores 25-7, 25-11 and 25-18.
Coach Cheryl Cromleight did not think her team played up to its standard it has set for itself early in the season.
Missing scores
Saint Jo did not play late last week.
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.
