The Forestburg High School volleyball has played some competitive matches against Bryson, and this past Tuesday was no different.
“Bryson’s a great team,” Forestburg head coach Cori Hayes said. “We had split the season matches prior to tonight, and it was a great feeling to take the rubber match.”
The Lady Horns dispatched the Cowgirls in four games by scores of 25-19, 25-19, 20-25, 25-22.
Hayes was pleased to see Forestburg “play hard and together” for the win.
Forestburg improved to 9-8 heading into Friday’s match against Graford. The District 2A-10 opener is one week from today against Montague County foe Gold-Burg.
Kaylee Choate and Hope Phipps keyed the Lady Horns from the serving line with 13 of the team’s 19 ace serves.
Choate ran the offense and finished with seven assists. Haley Nolan was the beneficiary of Choate’s passes for five kills and Phipps added four. Alexia Britain chipped in with a pair of kills. Read more, and see other results, in the weekend Bowie News.
