Saint Jo vs Prairie Valley
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers wrapped up the first round of district with a win against Prairie Valley at home to stay undefeated.
The Lady Panthers overwhelmed the Lady Bulldogs with their press 65-17.
Saint Jo was coming off a big win against Forestburg that put the team in first place in the district standings. The young Prairie Valley team was hoping for its first district win.
While the Lady Bulldogs started the game competing well, down only 15-10 after the first quarter, eventually the fatigue started to get to them scoring became much harder in the final three quarters.
Saint Jo never slowed down, scoring 17 and 22 points in the second and third quarters, before eventually settling down the pace and scoring 10 points.
The Lady Panthers won 65-17.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won their third straight district game against Seymour in their home opener on Friday night.
The Lady Indians won with ease 71-40 against the Lady Panthers as they seek to extend their district title streak.
Nocona came into the game confident after winning the first two district games on the road by nearly 60 points each.
Seymour did a bit better than most teams. Coach Kyle Spitzer has had little to nitpick so far, but had several things to harp his team about after the game despite winning by more than 30 points.
Nocona’s defense held the Lady Panthers under 10 points in the first three quarters before giving up 15 in the fourth period. The Lady Indians also had three great quarters of offense, scoring 19, 20 and 21 points. Only the second quarter saw the team barely outscore Seymour 11-9.
Still, Nocona won easily 71-40.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns won a bounce-back non-district game at home on Friday night against Savoy.
The Lady Horns won easily against the Lady Cardinals 56-40, with the majority of their points scored during two quarters.
Forestburg was hoping to shake off a disappointing close loss to Saint Jo earlier in the week that put the Lady Horns district record at 4-1.
Savoy proved to be the best punching bag as Forestburg jumped out to a 23-11 lead in the first quarter.
However, the Lady Horns offense went ice cold in the second quarter and the Lady Cardinals made up some ground, trailing 27-22 at halftime.
Forestburg then had a huge offensive third quarter as the pace ramped up for both sides. The Lady Horns nearly equaled the first half total during the one period alone, scoring 26 points. Savoy scored 18, but Forestburg’s lead was sitting in double-digits up 53-40.
The pace slowed way down in the fourth quarter as the Lady Horns held the ball and didn’t allow the Lady Cardinals much of a chance to score. Savoy scored zero points while Forestburg scored only three as the team won 56-40.
Missing scores
The Gold-Burg girl’s season was canceled due to too few players which meant Bellevue’s scheduled game on Friday did not happen.

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.
