Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers had a happy senior night on Tuesday playing their final regular season match against Bellevue.
The Lady Panthers won 3-0 against the Lady Eagles to officially secure another district title.
Saint Jo came into the match with a lot of emotion. The team sports six seniors, with five who have been on varsity since freshman year and all six since sophomore year.
The Lady Panthers already had the district title wrapped up with no losses in the five previous matches.
Bellevue came into the match with nothing to lose in its final match of the season. The Lady Eagles are going to just miss the playoffs, but still were playing with pride as they nearly upset district runner-up Prairie Valley in the previous match in five sets. They were hoping they could push an unsuspecting, but sentimental Saint Jo team the same way.
The first set proved to be the most competitive. The Lady Panthers were playing all of their seniors at the start which mucked up their typical rotations, but they knew they could weather it.
Saint Jo slowly pulled away, but the Lady Eagles were able to score some points on the margins to make the final score 25-17.
After the first set, the Lady Panthers rotations were a bit more normal and they were more into the match. Good serves and net play allowed them to get out to a huge early lead 12-3 and Bellevue could not recover. Saint Jo won 25-12.
It was the same story in set three. The Lady Panthers led 14-6 and kept up that pace as they won 25-11 to secure the victory 3-0.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians officially wrapped up their co-district championship on Tuesday at Petrolia.
The Lady Indians won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Pirates as they head into the playoffs on cloud nine.
Nocona was coming into the game off its biggest win of the season, beating Windthorst at home on senior night to tie the Lady Trojans at the top of the district standings. With the two teams going into different divisions in the playoffs, there would be no need for the teams to play again for the district title and first seed like they would in the past.
Still, for Nocona to get a gold ball for a shared district title, the Lady Indians would have to beat Petrolia.
Nocona took care of the Lady Pirates, with two of the sets being relatively competitive. The set scores were 25-18, 25-13 and 25-20.

Prairie Valley vs Forestburg
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs had a happy senior night on Tuesday with a win against Forestburg.
The Lady Bulldogs won in straight sets 3-0 to secure district runner-up while the Lady Horns finished third.
Prairie Valley had gotten a scare in its previous match at Bellevue, nearly letting the Lady Eagles come back as it went to five sets.
Forestburg was motivated because a win would set up a chance for a play-in game later this week for second place and a better playoff seed.
The Lady Bulldogs came to play and won the first two sets with relative ease 25-14 and 25-11. The Lady Horns made a good push in set three, but still Prairie Valley was able to close the set to win 25-20 and the match 3-0.
