Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians did well at their second tournament, winning the consolation title in the gold bracket at Graham’s Lu Allen Tournament.
The Lady Indians went 5-2 overall and beat some tough teams from the area, some of them from bigger schools.
Nocona earned straight set wins against Iowa Park, Klondike and Aspermont while losing to eventual tournament champion West Plains in straight sets during pool play.
It was still good enough to qualify for the gold bracket. Unfortunately, the Lady Indians lost their first match of bracket play to eventual third place finisher Fairfield.
Nocona bounced back to beat Pampa in its next game easily to qualify for the consolation championship game where it met Peaster. After losing the first set handily, the Lady Indians gritted their teeth and eked out close set wins 26-24 and 25-22 to win the match and the consolation championship.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs won the consolation title at the Electra Tournament last week.
The Lady Bulldogs went 3-3 overall as they brought home some hardware from their second tournament of the season.
Prairie Valley lost matches to Electra and Crowell in straight sets on the first day, but came back from losing the first set against Olney to win the match and go 1-3 the first day.
During bracket play, the team went up against Albany and lost in straight sets, being sent down the consolation route.
This set up a rematch against Olney. It went to three sets, but once against the Lady Bulldogs came through to win and advance to the championship game.
There Prairie Valley played Chillicothe. Again down after the set, the Lady Bulldogs came bouncing back, winning the final two sets to win the consolation championship.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles played in their first tournament at Poolville last week.
The Lady Eagles did not come away with a win, going 0-4, but they did play better in their final match.
