The Forestburg High School volleyball team used a strong service game to sweep Prairie Valley 25-9, 25-13, 25-11 on Tuesday.
“Forestburg serves very well, and we just couldn’t get the ball in play,” Prairie Valley head coach Jeannine Carpenter said.
Carpenter said the Lady Bulldogs are showing perseverance, and they are working hard despite a recent string of losses.
Forestburg leveled both its overall and District 2A-10 records at 12-12 and 3-3, respectively. Prairie Valley dropped to 5-12, 0-6.
Prairie Valley had the daunting task of facing Texas Girls Coaches Association state-ranked Lindsay on Friday while Forestburg was prepared to battle Saint Jo in a Montague County showdown.
“We’ve kind of hit a stride where we are playing really great as a team and grinding out some wins,” Forestburg head coach Cori Hayes said.
Hayes said Forestburg has found its strengths and what the girls need to work on.
Forestburg won a whopping 37 points in the match on its service game alone, guided by a career-high 23 aces from Hope Phipps.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
