Lady Bulldogs fall to Valley View
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs fell short on Tuesday night while hosting 3A Valley View.
The bigger Lady Eagles were able to come out on top 3-1 in a match that easily could have gone the other way as almost every set was close throughout.
Prairie Valley came into the game at a disadvantage on the court with Valley View posing much more size at the net, but also off the court. Coach Mark Smith was absent due to a sickness and boy’s coach Seth Stephens had to step in.
Despite those things, the Lady Bulldogs battled in the first set. Neither team was able to build much of a lead throughout, though Prairie Valley seemed to the one in control.
Nearing the end of the set, the Lady Bulldogs built one of their biggest leads of the set up 23-19. Unfortunately, the Lady Eagles came back to not only tie the score up at 23-23, but eventually win in extra points 27-25 to take the 1-0 lead.
The second set saw Prairie Valley playing from behind the whole time. The Lady Bulldogs never got behind by more than four points, but was not in position near the end to try and steal it away unless something drastic happened like it did for Valley View the previous set. It didn’t and the Lady Eagles won 25-21 to go up 2-0.
Instead of hanging their heads and giving up, the Prairie Valley team stayed locked in and played the third set as competitive as the first two. Neither team was able to get much of a lead until the Lady Bulldogs built a three-point, 19-16 lead.
From there, Prairie Valley closed the set strong and won the biggest margin of the match 25-19 to cut the lead to 2-1.
The Lady Bulldogs carried that good momentum into the start of set four. Needing to win the set to force a fifth and final set, it looked on its way as Prairie Valley was up 11-6 early on in the set and riding the good times.
Unfortunately, Valley View came storming back and tied the score at 12-12 to make it another tough competition.
Shortly afterwards the Lady Eagles took control, leading 19-16. From there, Valley View closed out the set. The Lady Bulldogs could not mount any last second comeback as the Lady Eagles won the set 25-21 and the match 3-1.

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.
