Tigers nip Boyd, win 28-27

It’s not always the quarterbacks and running backs who are the difference makers in a football game. Sometimes it’s the kickers and the defensive linemen.

Such was the case in the waning minutes of Friday’s Jacksboro home opener with Boyd. Boyd’s Dakota Barrow had a fumble bounce into his hands and rumbled 51 yards to the end zone with it to break a 21-all tie. The extra point try failed with 6:44 left.

Lady Pirates sweep past MWCC

The Perrin Lady Pirates volleyball team, ranked No. 5 in Class A by the Texas Girls Coaches Association, kept rolling down the highway Thursday, Aug. 30.

Perrin upped its record to 12-5 with a 25-15, 25-12, 25-22 win over Mineral Wells Community Christian. Lady Pirate’s coach Rebekah Bland said momentum reared its ugly head in game three.

“I thought our hitting was on in the first two games but was definitely off in the third,” Bland said. “We had played our game in the first two games but got away from the way we play in the third.”
