Montague County athletes compete at state cross country meet
Montague County athletes competed at the state cross country meet on Friday and Saturday at Round Rock.
Gold-Burg’s Isaac Renteria came back with some hardware, finishing ninth in the boy’s 1A race.
With it being Renteria’s third trip to the state meet, his goal this year was to break through and get on the stand as he ran 17:09.
He was joined for the first time by Ollie Gaston who was the first girl Gold-Burg runner to make it to the state meet. She finished 86th with a time of 14:07.
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers finished ninth overall as a team. With three of the five girls coming straight from playing a five-set playoff volleyball match the night before, it was a tough turnaround they battled through.
Abby Carter led the team by finishing 18th overall with a time of 12:58. Her teammates included Tatum Morman (58th), Taylor Patrick (84th), Kaycee Clark (98th) and Aubrey Morman (107th).
From Prairie Valley, Linzie Priddy finished 64th with a time of 13:48 in the girls 1A race. It was her second time at the state meet after missing last year.
Josh Stout competed in the boy’s 1A race and finished 90th with a time of 19:43 in his first time at state.
The Nocona Lady Indians’ team was celebrating just getting back to state for the second straight year. With it being the same group that did it the previous year for the first time in school history and the last race for the team as a whole, with two graduating seniors running their final race, the race itself was gravy.
The Lady Indians finished 15th overall running in the 2A girl’s race. Bayler Smith led the team with a 31st finish with a time of 12:45.
The team’s top five runners included Jayce Rose (104th), Melissa Segura (105th), Jolie Rose (128th) and Reagan Phipps (131st).
The Nocona boys’ team also was represented by Claudio Segura. Unfortunately for Segura, he suffered a sprained ankle at the beginning of the chaotic start of the race and could not finish.
Still, he was the second Nocona boy to make it to the state meet in the last two years.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
