The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost a tough match on senior night on Friday against Iowa Park.
The Lady Hawks won in straight sets though the Lady Rabbits made them work for it.
Bowie came into the match following a win against Vernon and was hoping to close out the first round of district play.
Both teams came into the match with a 3-2 record, both losing to Henrietta and Holliday. The winner would take sole possession of third place.
The first set was close, but the Lady Rabbits were playing catch up and could not take control of the set late as they lost 25-20.
The second set was the most competitive one of the match. It went to extra sets, but unfortunately the Lady Hawks pulled it out to win 28-26 to go up 2-0.
Bowie would need to win the every set for the rest of the match to pull the come back, but could not come together in the third set.
Iowa Park pulled ahead and the Lady Rabbits never came back around to threaten the Lady Hawks near the end. Iowa Park won the set 25-18 and the match 3-0.
Forestburg vs Gold-Burg
The Forestburg Lady Horns had a happy homecoming win against Gold-Burg on Friday night.
The Lady Horns won in straight sets against the Lady Bears.
Forestburg won the first two sets with little trouble with the set scores being 25-7 and 25-10. Gold-Burg almost came back to steal set three, but the Lady Horns held on to win 26-24.
Forestburg Coach Kayla Firth liked the way her team played overall on Friday.
For Gold-Burg Coach Cheryl Cromleigh, she did not like what she saw from her team and did not think they played well.
Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won at Bellevue on Friday to stay undefeated in district play.
The Lady Panthers won in straight sets against the Lady Eagles. The set scores were 25-7, 25-8 and 25-14.
Saint Jo came into the match after two dominating district wins. Facing a young Bellevue team that did not have much history with volleyball before this season, the Lady Panthers knew a win was probably certain.
Therefore, Coach Kelly Skidmore mainly wanted to see how her team played in aspects under its control, like avoiding service or hitting errors and solid communication. In that aspect, Skidmore had little to complain about.
For Bellevue, scoring double-digits in set three is the highlight against a team likely to go on a playoff run.

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.
