Prairie Valley, Gold-Burg play at tournament
There were five teams competing at the annual Gold-Burg volleyball tournament on Saturday, but it was the two Montague County teams in action that came away with first and second place.
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs earned wins against Quanah junior varsity (25-19, 25-18), their own junior varsity team (25-12, 25-10) and Gold-Burg (25-11, 25-22) in the championship game to take home the gold medal.
“We played well, the second Gold-Burg match was the toughest of the day,” said Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs Coach Jeannie Carpenter. “We were tired and made some mistakes that we don’t normally make; however, we were able to hold them off for the win. I am so proud of these girls and their perseverance in the long tournament day.”
During the game against the Lady Bears, Emily Carpenter put down 6 kills and 6 ace serves, while Carpenter and Sydni Messer provided 11 assists each. Messer also had 15 digs.
Syndi Messer was named the tournament’s most valuable player, while Carpenter and Kincaid Johnson were named to the all-tournament team.
While the Gold-Burg Lady Bears suffered the loss to Prairie Valley, the rest of their day was successful, with a 25-8, 25-4 win against Prairie Valley JV; 25-8, 25-4 win against Quanah JV and 25-8, 25-10 win against Crowell to take second place in their own tournament after the hard-fought battle against Prairie Valley varsity in the championship game.
Gold-Burg’s Halie Franklin and Taylor Lyons were named to the all-tournament team at the end of Saturday’s competition.

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.
