Saint Jo vs Gold-Burg
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers sealed their second straight undefeated district championship with a win at Gold-Burg on Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers won in straight sets against the struggling Lady Bears who ended their season.
Gold-Burg hung with Saint Jo in the first set before the Lady Panthers won 25-19. The next two sets were not as close as Saint Jo won with scores being 25-6 and 25-9.
It was a tough end to a frustrating season for the Lady Bears. A program used to going to the playoffs and being able to have a competitive match against almost any 1A team struggled with inconsistent play and inexperience. Coach Cheryl Cromleigh is used to having her teams showing a bit more fight, even in matches where they lose. Cromleigh hopes the overall make-up of the team is improved by next season.
For Saint Jo, the Lady Panthers hope to have another long playoff run, but will have to wait a bit before they play in a real match again.
The district championship means they have a bye into the area round which is a week and half from Tuesday’s match.

Prairie Valley vs Bellevue
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs had a happy senior night with a straight sets win against Bellevue on Tuesday.
The Lady Bulldogs win set up a play-in game against Forestburg on Friday to see which team will earn the second seed heading into the playoffs.
The first set was competitive as Bellevue showed some fight, but Prairie Valley closed well to win 25-21. After that, the Lady Bulldogs made quick work winning the next two sets 25-5 and 25-6.
It was a disappointing way for the Lady Eagles season to end, though it was an overall good first year for Bellevue’s resurrected volleyball program.
The Lady Eagles were actually able to win a few matches, including a district one, while competing better in some losses after a rough first month of not playing well.
Considering Bellevue had few athletes with any volleyball experience before this season and that most of the team were underclassmen, that is a successful first year for Coach Mollee Kirk and the Lady Eagles.
For Prairie Valley, Linzie Priddy had a team high nine kills. Kai Cearley led the team with 10 service aces. Renee Stout had a team high 12 assists.
