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.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost a close game at home against Perrin-Whitt on March 28.
The Pirates won 8-3, only taking the lead in the seventh inning after the Panthers had come back to tie up the game.
Saint Jo was coming into the game after a close one-run loss in extra innings against Perrin-Whitt earlier last week.
The second game started with two scoreless innings before the Pirates got on the board in the third inning. A line drive into left field resulted in a fielding error that allowed one run to score. A double followed that drove in another run as Perrin-Whitt went up 2-0.
The Pirates added to the lead in the fourth inning, driving in a run on a single to extend its lead to 3-0.
Saint Jo answered back in the same inning. Charlie Evans drove in one run with a single. Later in the inning, with a runners on second on third base, the Perrin-Whitt pitcher balked twice, an illegal pitching motion, that allowed both runners to advance to home plate. The Panthers had tied the score at 3-3.
After a scoreless fifth and sixth inning, the Pirates had the pressure on in the seventh inning.
With the bases loaded, a hit batter and later a walk scored two runs for Perrin-Whitt. Then a bases clearing double scored three more runs to break the game open in the final inning.
Saint Jo tried to answer in its final at-bats, getting two singles and drawing a walk but could not get enough things going to score.
The Pirates won 8-3.
Evans led the team with one RBI and two hits as the team finished with five hits and drew six walks.
Sam Martin allowed eight runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out six and walking three batters in 6.2 innings of work. The defense committed three fielding errors overall.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians had a tough start to district last week, losing both games in their series against Lindsay.
The Knights won 11-4 and 7-3 against the Indians last week as Nocona hopes to get back into the playoffs.
Nocona was coming off a string of good wins the previous week against smaller schools, but knew Lindsay would be tough.
The first game saw Lindsay continually score runs in the first four innings, building a 9-0 lead before the Indians could get on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning with two runs.
Nocona added two more runs in the fifth inning to cut the lead to 9-4 and get some momentum heading into the final two innings.
After a scoreless sixth inning, the Knights scored two runs in the seventh inning to extend their lead and eventually win 11-4.
Miller Jentry led the team with two RBIs while RJ Walker also drove in two runs. The team had only two hits, but drew nine walks in the game.
Brody Langford allowed six runs (two earned) on five hits while striking out three in three innings pitches. Landon Fatheree allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out one and walking four. The defense committed five fielding errors.
Nocona knew it could play better and tried to in the second game later in the week while playing on the road at Lindsay.
The Knights again took the early lead, scoring in three of the first four innings and going up 6-0. The Indians scored two runs in the fifth inning and one in the top of the sixth inning to initially cut the lead to 6-3. Lindsay answered with one run in the bottom of the sixth inning and held on to win 7-3.
Walker Murphey led the team with two RBIs after hit a double. Kutter Cabrera drove in the other run for Nocona. The Indians finished with three hits and drew only two walks, making the most of their limited opportunities.
Walker got the start on the mound and allowed seven runs (two earned) on eight hits while striking out six batters and walking two in six innings of work. The defense committed six fielding errors overall.

Bellevue
The Bellevue Eagles started district last week playing a series against fellow 1A team Bryson.
Unfortunately, the Cowboys won both games handily 11-1 and 10-1.
Bellevue was coming off a tough week where it hung tough playing 2A teams Nocona and Chico, not getting wins but competing well against the more experienced and bigger schools.
Unfortunately against Bryson in the first game, a few bad defensive innings threw away a good start to the game. Bryce Ramsey drew a leadoff walk in the first inning and stole his way around to second base, third base before eventually coming home on a steal.
Bellevue led 1-0 after the first inning.
That was the highlight as the Cowboys scored four runs in both the third and fourth inning to take control of the game. Bryson eventually added three more in the sixth inning.
The Eagles needed to score at least one run to avoid getting run-ruled and play the seventh inning, but could not do it. The Cowboys won 11-1.
Walker Strahan, Ryan Jones and Ramsey each had one hit to lead the team. With the Eagles drawing only one walk, it was a tough day swinging the bats for Bellevue.
Defensively, the Eagles allowed 12 hits and walked four batters, though avoided committing any fielding errors.
The second game on the road was not much better.
Bryson built up a 6-0 lead before Bellevue scored in the fifth inning. Cam Blaylock scored on the base paths to cut the lead to 6-1. The Cowboys responded in the same inning scoring four runs to go up 10-1.
The game cuts off on the Game Changer app from there.
Ramsey led the team with three hits in the game and Strahan was behind him with two hits as the team finished with six total and drew one walk.
Defensively, Bryson had nine hits and drew eight walks, but Bellevue did not commit any fielding errors.
