Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Bulldogs picked up a much needed win at home against Vernon’s JV squad on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs won in blowout 52-24 as they seemed to beat down the Lions in every way.
Coming off the holiday break and tough first tournament before that, it was a good game for the young Prairie Valley team to gain some early season confidence in front of the home crowd.
The Bulldogs defense was stifling, holding Vernon to only 13 points through the first three quarters.
This allowed Prairie Valley to get everyone big swaths of playing time without worrying about the result and just on the process.
Tyson Easterling led the team with 10 points while Trae Campbell and JR Jones were second with nine points.
Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost at Bells on Tuesday night in their first game back from the break.
The Panthers came back in the second half to win 54-43 against the Indians.
Nocona came out and scored well in a fast paced first quarter, leading 18-14. The pace slowed down with fatigue, but the Indians still led 25-23 at halftime.
Bells then came out in the third quarter and took control, nearly doubling its first half total with 21 points and leading 44-33 heading into the fourth quarter.
Nocona could not make up any ground in the final period as both teams scored 10 points and the Panthers held on to win 54-43.
Javier Gaytan led the team with 17 points while Johnny Stone joined him in double-figures with 12 points. Charlie Fuller grabbed a team high nine rebounds.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears won big against Vernon Northside at home on Tuesday night coming back from the break.
The Bears blew out the Indians 62-28.
Gold-Burg used its full-court pressure to not only subdue Northside’s offense, but create transition opportunities for the Bears offense.
Gold-Burg led 15-2 after the first quarter and it was off to the races for the next three quarters.
It was a game where everyone got their chance to play for the Bears as they try to knock off some of the holiday rust off.
Jayon Grace led the team with 19 points while Keelyn Case was second with 11 points.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns lost to Community Christian on Tuesday night following their holiday break.
The Warriors won 57-37 against the Longhorns in a game where Forestburg just had trouble scoring for the first three quarters.
The Longhorns came in confident after a 3-1 start to their season, but were reminded they have to play well every night against good teams in order to win or even to have a chance to compete.
Jesse Wadsworth led the team with 15 points while Jesus Sanchez was second with seven points.

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.
