Volleyball Roundup: Lady Indians top Denison; Montague County 1A schools topped in district games
The Nocona Lady Indians were able to win at home Tuesday night against Denison.
After easily winning the first set 25-14, the Lady Yellow Jackets were able close out a tough second set 25-23 to tie up the match. After that, the Lady Indians were able to bounce back and win the next two sets by comfortable margins 25-16 and 25-20 to win the match 3-1.
Averee Kleinhans led the team with 21 kills and was tied with Rachel Patrick for the team lead with 11 digs. Trystin Fenoglio led the team with 25 assists and Ella Nunneley led the team with 4 aces.
Coach Tiffany Clay liked her team got the win, but knows there were things they could have done and need to get better heading forward.
“We played aggressively, however our serve-receive was lacking which kept us out of system quite a bit,” Clay said. “I have a couple of girls we are trying to get hundred percent before district starts so I had a couple of different line ups that we were trying. Denison had two big middles who blocked well so we struggled getting the ball past them some.”
Nocona’s next game is its final non-district match. They play Melissa at 5 p.m. on Sept. 18 at Melissa.

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.

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.
