HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Buckle Up For Lane week has arrived

Lane Fenoglio was so excited to hear when Sanda Fenoglio became unexpectedly pregnant in 1998.
Sanda had a daughter named, Magye, who today is one of the premier liberos in all of Texas. Magye is a senior this year.
“It’s bittersweet,” said Sanda Fenoglio, Magye’s mother. “We would like everyone to know that we have been overwhelmed at the support we have received through the years.
“Magye never met Lane,” Sanda continued. “But, through this tournament, and her seeing the support and hearing all about her, Magye found out what a fun person and good athlete she was.”
Lane Fenoglio was killed in an auto accident on July 11, 1998, the summer before what would have been her sophomore year at Nocona High School.
The tournament is called “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” because Lane was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident. The event has brought awareness for making sure you are safe and properly belted before venturing out onto the road.
Thirty teams will compete in five pools on Thursday at various gymnasiums around Nocona, including the one inside the Nocona Baptist Church.
Janna Fenoglio, Lane’s mother, marvels at the staying power for the tournament – which is now in its 17th year.
“I think this has been totally awesome,” Janna Fenoglio said. “I am proud of Nocona, and how we all pulled together as needed.”
Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay has both played and coached in the tournament.
“One-hundred percent of the proceeds go back to the graduating seniors every year,” Clay said. “The Fenoglio family has raised more than $200,000 from this tournament.” Read more in the Aug. 31 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.
