The first regular-season match of the Charlie Hamilton Pittman era will take place on Aug. 9 at Petrolia.
“I think playing a team like Petrolia will help our girls get motivated to work hard,” said Hamilton Pittman, who was just hired as Saint Jo head volleyball coach.
Hamilton Pittman said she’s happy Saint Jo will have a tournament at home on Aug. 11 and 13.
The event will featured District 2A-10 foes Collinsville and Forestburg plus Perrin-Whitt, Chico and Savoy. Both Saint Jo varsity and junior varsity will be in action.
The following week Saint Jo will take on Dodd City on Aug. 16 at home, the first time these school will clash.
The non-district schedule primarily features home matches versus Savoy, Christ Academy, Chico and Alvord.
The Lady Panthers, who are coming off a 10-23 season and 4-10 in 2A-10, also will play at the Chico Tournament on Aug. 18 and 20.
“With the Chico Tournament, we will go against teams at our level of play,” Hamilton Pittman said.
An interesting component of the schedule takes place during Labor Day Weekend as Saint Jo competes in the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” Tournament on Sept. 1 and 3 in Nocona with a home date against Chico sandwiched in between. Read more in the July 16 Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
