Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits faced a tough challenge traveling to Decatur on Tuesday night.
The bigger Lady Eagles won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Rabbits and the match did not start great.
Bowie middle-blocker and captain Callie Curry went down with an ankle injury in the first set that put her out of commission the rest of the match.
It would have been tough even with Curry playing 4A Decatur. Without her, the first set went quickly as the Lady Eagles won 25-11.
However, the team rallied and despite not winning either of the next two sets, the play got better and the results more competitive. Decatur won with the set scores being 25-16 and 25-18, but Coach Ashley Sanders thought Bowie got some good experience from the match.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians picked up a straight sets win at home against Breckenridge on Tuesday.
During the Lady Indians 3-0 sweep, some individual milestones were set for senior Kaygan Stone. She picked up not only her 1,000 career dig but also her 100th career service ace during the match.
She was thankful for the honor after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury.
“I’m so happy to be back on the court this year after my surgery and would not be able to accomplish my goals without the support of my team and coaches,” Stone said.
Nocona took care of business with set scores being 25-16, 25-12 and 25-15.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won at Electra on Tuesday night.
The Lady Panthers got it done in straight sets against the Lady Tigers.
Saint Jo won with the set scores being 25-16, 25-16 and 25-15.
Coach Kelly Skidmore thought her team hit the ball well and did a good job in the serve-receive part of the match.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles picked up a big win at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Eagles beat Midway in straight sets 3-0 in relatively easy fashion, which was definitely needed for the team.
Bellevue was coming off from playing a really tough tournament in Nocona and the team was hoping to see better results with the season being almost a month old.
Playing a school its own size again, the Lady Eagles dominated the Lady Falcons with set scores being 25-10, 25-9 and 25-5.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns lost a tough match at Savoy on Tuesday.
The Lady Cardinals won in straight sets 3-0, but the Lady Horns played better as the game went along.
Forestburg lost with the set scores being 25-13, 25-16 and 25-19.
Brenna Briles led the team with nine kills and seven assists. Logan Ladewig was right behind her with eight kills and also had a team high seven assists. Karman Willett led the team with eight digs.

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.
