Prairie Valley vs Gold-Burg
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs were able to bounce back with a win against Gold-Burg at home on Wednesday night.
The Lady Bulldogs won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Bears.
Prairie Valley was coming off a disappointing loss against first place Saint Jo, which would prevent the Lady Bulldogs of having a shot at the district title.
Gold-Burg was hoping it could catch a Prairie Valley team off guard as the young Lady Bears team is looking for its first district win.
It was the third time the teams have played this season and it went similar to the first two times.
The Lady Bulldogs won with the set scores being 25-13, 25-6 and 25-12.
Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost a tough match at Holliday on Tuesday night.
The Lady Eagles won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Rabbits as the end of the season draws near.
Bowie was looking for its first district win and knew it would be tough to get it at Holliday on Tuesday. The Lady Eagles were ranked 11th in the state in 3A coming into the week.
The first two sets were similar scores. The Lady Rabbits fell behind, but at times competed well with Holliday. Unfortunately it was not enough to come back in either set as the Lady Eagles won 25-13 in both.
The final set Bowie could never get anything going. Holliday turned it up a level and the Lady Rabbits could not keep up. The Lady Eagles won the set 25-8 and the match 3-0.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won on the road on Tuesday at Olney to set up a showdown in their next match.
The Lady Indians easily beat the Lady Cubs in straight sets 3-0.
Nocona came into the match confident, having previously beaten Olney on its own home floor a few weeks previously.
The Lady Indians won with the set scores being 25-13, 25-17 and 25-10.
Ava Johnson led the team with 12 kills and seven service aces. Jolie Rose, Paige Davis and Raylea Bowles each had five kills.
Leah Meekins had a team high 18 assists while Kasi Castro was second with nine. Kaygan Stone was second with three aces.
On defense, Aubree Kleinhans had a team high 10 digs while Johnson and Meekins each had five. Bowles had one block.
Forestburg vs Bellevue
The Forestburg Lady Horns won their biggest match of the season at home on Monday night against Bellevue to secure a playoff spot.
The Lady Horns won in straight sets 3-0, but each set was competitive and came down to the wire.
Forestburg came into the match with a bit more confidence, having won the first matchup at Bellevue a few weeks previously to sit in third place.
The Lady Eagles needed to win if they wanted a chance to possibly set up a play-in game against the Lady Horns for the final playoff spot.
Each set was competitive and point-to-point down to the final few serves. Forestburg came out on top in the first set 26-24, which set the tone for the match.
The second set was also close, but in the end the Lady Horns were able to get some breathing room on their way to winning 25-21 to go up 2-0.
With Bellevue’s back and against the wall, the Lady Eagles fought back and made sure they were not just going to lay down for Forestburg.
Back and forth it went and like the first set, it came down to executing the final few serves.
Also like the first set, the Lady Horns were able to come out on top 25-23 to earn the victory 3-0.

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.
