Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns win at Midway on Friday night improved their record to 8-1 in district play.
The Lady Horns won a close game 45-41 as they came from behind in the second half to beat the Lady Falcons.
Forestburg had a four-game win streak coming into the game against a Midway team on the outside of the playoff race.
The Lady Falcons did not let that deter them as they took it to the Lady Horns in the first half.
After a close first quarter where Midway was up 11-9, the Lady Falcons had their best offensive spurt of the game, scoring 18 points in the second quarter and was in control.
Midway led 29-19 at halftime and Forestburg had to get its head in gear.
The Lady Horns led with defense, blanking the Lady Falcons in the second half. Midway scored just five points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth.
This left the door open for Forestburg to come back.
The Lady Horns took the lead at the end of the third quarter 35-34 and scored just enough in the fourth quarter to hold onto the lead, winning 45-41.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs lost at Slidell on the road on Friday night, but played one of their better games of the season.
The Lady Greyhounds won 47-30 against the Lady Bulldogs.
Prairie Valley came into the game hoping it could try and steal its first district win against a Slidell team that is sitting in third place in the district standings.
The Lady Bulldogs got off to a good start and competed well against the Lady Greyhounds who were hoping it would be an easy blowout win.
Prairie Valley hung with Slidell in the first half, despite dealing with foul trouble. The Lady Bulldogs biggest weakness is their lack of depth with only six players on their bench.
Moreso what happened, Prairie Valley had a lull offensively which allowed the Lady Greyhounds to build their lead up and get some breathing room.
The Lady Bulldogs could never catch back up to make it as close a game as it was in the first half.
Slidell won 47-30.

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.
