Prairie Valley vs Forestburg
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs were able to keep their playoff hopes alive by beating Forestburg at home on Tuesday.
The Lady Bulldogs won 58-24 against the Lady Horns thanks to an increase in execution all around. Sydni Messer and Kincaid Johnson each scored 11 points as Prairie Valley made seven three-pointers.
“We were able to control the tempo of the game and shut down their key scorers which resulted in a big win for us,” Lady Bulldog Coach Jeannie Carpenter said. “This game helped our chance of earning a playoff spot.”
With improved results against the two top teams and two straight wins against Midway and Forestburg, Prairie Valley hopes they were ready when they faced Saint Jo on Friday as both teams are in position to get the third seed.
Gold-Burg vs Saint Jo
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears hosted Saint Jo on Tuesday in a low scoring, but competitive game.
The Lady Panthers were able to grab an early lead in the first quarter and never let go as they won 49-36.
Saint Jo led 16-9 in the first quarter, with Charity Brawner scoring 10 of her team high 16 points in the quarter. Neither team could break 10 points in the second quarter as the Lady Panthers led 23-14 at halftime.
Gold-Burg tried to answer back in the second half, but Saint Jo’s high scoring third quarter kept the game out of reach.
Besides Brawner, Emily Haney scored 14 points to help lead the Lady Panthers while Coach Taylor Klement thought her team played a good game fro the beginning.
The Lady Panthers game on Friday might decide their fate as they hosted Prairie Valley, a team also challenging for the third seed in the district and the final playoff spot.

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.
