Saint Jo
Saint Jo volleyball got some challenge on Friday playing the junior varsity teams from Nocona.
The Lady Panthers won both matchups against the younger squads from the 3A county team, winning all sets they played.
First Saint Jo played the Lady Indians JV two team. The Lady Panthers took care of business, winning both matches by double-digits 25-14 and 25-15.
Hannah Reyling led the team with five kills and three aces. Kassidy Pitman had a team high five assists.
The match against Nocona’s JV one team was competitive for Saint Jo. The Lady Panthers still won in straight sets 25-20, 25-18 and 25-22.
Reyling led the team with six kills while Kayden Skidmore was right behind her with five kills. Kaitline Harris led with five assists and Pitman had four digs. Reyling, Harris and Jackie Hannah each had three aces to lead the team.
Saint Jo next plays at Petrolia at 4 p.m. on Aug. 21.
Forestburg
Forestburg hosted Archer City on Friday, a usually tough 2A team that beat even 3A Bowie earlier in the week.
The Lady Horns did not far much better, losing in straight sets though they played better as the match wore on. The scores show this: 25-7, 25-9, 25-14.
Keeleigh Burnam, Katie Willett, Kendal Cross and Athena Britain each had one kill to lead the team. Burnam and Willett each had two aces. Faith Moore had a team high two assists while Burnam led the team with six digs.
Despite the outcome, Coach Cori Hayes still saw improvements from earlier in the week, especially against such a strong team.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears traveled to 2A Alvord on Friday to take on the Lady Bulldogs.
The big team from the bigger school won that night in straight sets, with scores 16-25, 19-25 and 11-25.
The Lady Bears did not serve as well as they are capable which is key for them to win games. Coach Cheryl Cromleigh still thought her girls hustled around and showed heart.
She also was happy she got Ashlyn Brown, the team’s most experienced middle blocker back after not starting the season on the team.
Gold-Burg next plays Quanah at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 at home.

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.
