The Benjamin Lady Mustangs swept Gold-Burg in three games when the teams faced off Aug. 26.
The Lady Bears were defeated 25-15, 25-21, 25-20 as they struggled to get a ball past the visiting team.
“Our team played well, but we could not get anything by them,” said Gold-Burg head coach Cheryl Cromleigh. “They got to everything.”

Shelby Horton supplied 10 of the team’s 24 assists.
Every member of the team provided at least one kill in the game for a total of 27.

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.
