Linzie Priddy led Prairie Valley with 13 points in the team’s win on Friday night.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs were able to pick up a win on homecoming night on Friday against Christ Academy.
The Lady Bulldogs won 32-27 against the Lady Warriors.
Prairie Valley started off the game on a great note going up 10-1 in the first quarter. The Lady Bulldogs seemed to effortlessly drive to the basket against Christ Academy’s man-to-man defense. On the other side of the court, Prairie Valley’s pressure out its 3-2 zone defense seemed too much for the Lady Warriors.
The second quarter was more even as the Lady Bulldogs small bench meant a slow pace and a lot of energy expended by their lead ball handlers.
Christ Academy adjusted to the physicality and eventually started to use their size advantage to just kind of will points to come in the paint.
Still, Prairie Valley led 18-8 at halftime.
The third quarter saw the Lady Warrior players seem to match up better with the Lady Bulldogs to not allow drives to the basket be so easy. Fatigue also played a factor as Prairie Valley only scored four points.
Thankfully, the Lady Bulldogs were able to hold on to a 22-17 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The final period saw Christ Academy take its first lead of the game up 24-22 before Prairie Valley tied it back up 24-24. Then it was back and forth down the stretch.
Linzie Priddy scored on a layup to give the Lady Bulldogs back the lead with less than two minutes left to play. The Lady Warriors answered quickly with only their second 3-pointer of the game to answer back and get back the lead.
Prairie Valley then saw Renee Stout’s running floater go in to get back the lead.
After getting a stop, the Lady Bulldogs made one free throw extend their lead to 29-27 with 24 seconds left. Prairie Valley then sealed the game as Stout stole the ball in the backcourt and Priddy scored on a layup. One final free throw made by Natalee Young made the final score 32-27 for Prairie Valley.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians crushed Olney on the road on Friday to pick up its third district win.
The Lady Indians won 84-20 against the Lady Cubs in a game that was never close.
Nocona came in confident after easily winning its first two games in district by one-sided scores, last losing a district game in 2019 when it was competing in 3A.
Olney was 1-1 in district and had a similar season record while playing mostly small schools.
The Lady Indians led 21-6 after the first quarter and 36-14 at halftime.
Nocona seemed to pick it up even more in the second half, limiting the Lady Cubs to only six points total. The Lady Indians scored 29 points in the third quarter before gearing down to 19 points in the fourth quarter even as they sat some of their starters.
Nocona won 84-20.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers beat 2A Archer City on Friday night to head into the break on a good note.
The Lady Panthers won a competitive game 54-46 against the Lady Cats.
Payzlie Cervantes led the team with 14 points and seven steals. Aubrey Morman was second with 10 points. Krista Reeves, Jordyn O’Neal and Kamron Skidmore each scored eight points.
Taylor Patrick grabbed a team high 16 rebounds to go with five assists.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns won a good game against Community Christian at home on Friday to go into the holiday break on a positive note.
The Lady Horns won 50-30 against the Lady Warriors.
Forestburg started off the game well going up 18-9. The second quarter saw the Lady Horns slow down a little, but their lead grew a little as they led 29-16 at halftime.
The third quarter was Forestburg’s last great push as Brenna Briles scored 10 of the team’s 16 points as it led 45-22. The fourth quarter saw the Lady Horns hold the ball which limited scoring opportunities for both teams as they scored less than double-digits for the first time all game.
Still, the Lady Horns won by 20 points, 50-30.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians went 1-1 in their first round of district play last week.
The Lady Indians won a competitive game at Era 5-2, but then fell to Muenster by run-rule 15-0 after four innings.
Nocona came in with a big winning streak, but most of the wins were against familiar teams and the Lady Indians knew they would have to play at their best in a district that is expected to be tough.
The Lady Indians played at Era on March 18. The Lady Hornets took the early lead 1-0 in the first inning. Nocona tied the game at 1-1 in the third inning when Kaitlyn Tiffner scored on the base paths thanks to an error.
Era got the lead back with one run in the fourth inning , but then the Lady Indians got their first lead in the fifth inning. Ma’leigha Franklin drove in two runs on a sacrifice fly ball to put Nocona up 3-2.
The Lady Indians got some insurance in the sixth inning when Tinley Cable hit a two-run inside the park home run.
Nocona held on to win 5-2. Kylea Wallace led the team two hits as the team only had six all game. The hits were extremely opportunistic for the Lady Indians to score as much as they did.
Reagan Phipps allowed only two runs on seven hits while striking out 12 batters and walking three. The defense committed only one fielding error behind her.
Nocona was happy to get the close win to start district, but then came a big dose of bummer that threw sand in the potato salad of last week.
It was the Lady Indians home district opener, but Muenster had a huge second inning scoring 11 runs and it was all over from there. Nocona only got one hit from Phipps on offense as the Lady Indians lost 15-0 after four innings.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers were able to pick up a win against 1A Bryson last week, but fell to Graford and Perrin-Whitt later.
The Lady Panthers beat the Cowgirls 19-4, but then fell to 2A Graford 18-6 and fellow 1A team Perrin-Whitt 23-13.
Saint Jo played Bryson at home on March 18 and dominated, getting the win in three innings by run-rule 19-4.
Symbri Evans led the team with three RBIs while Kamron Skidmore and Mercedes Diaz each drove in two runs each. The team drew 15 walks and were hit by seven pitches.
So all three hits were big deals, like Skidmore hitting a home run.
Maxey Johnson allowed four runs (three earned) on two hits while striking out four batters. The defense committed only two fielding errors.
The next two games saw Saint Jo walk too many batters to keep the games close. Against Graford the team walked 15 batters and against Perrin-Whitt it was 16 batters.
