As expected, the Holliday Lady Eagles cross country team has been dominant on the young season. Archer City and Windthorst have had strong showings at the local cross country meets.

Windthorst (16-10) split a pair of four-set affairs last week, falling to Iowa Park (25-20, 15-25, 25-21, 27-25) on Tuesday before downing Christ Academy (25-20, 25-21, 22-25, 29-27) on Saturday. In the loss to the Lady Hawks, sophomore Rylee Wolf logged a triple-double with 12 kills, 15 digs and 20 assists to lead the Trojanettes.

Holliday (23-5, 1-0) rolled to its fourth-straight victory on Friday, Sept. 10, sweeping District 7-3A rival Henrietta 3-0 (25-10, 25-15, 25-16) to open league action.

After dropping four straight matches and five of the last six, Archer City jumped back into the win column on Saturday, Sept. 11. The Lady Cats (16-10) overcame a slow start to defeat Christ Academy, 14- 25, 25-10, 25-15, 25-21.

Windthorst Head Coach Chris Tackett just wanted to give his Trojans a chance to play after a COVID-19 outbreak among the Archer City coaching staff forced the Wildcats to pull out of their annual rivalry game.

The Windthorst 7thgrade Spartans defeated the Alvord Bulldogs 28- 18 on Thursday, Sept. 9. Brock “Big Juicy” Belcher threw two touchdown passes to Adam Barton and Brayden Messineo. Hayden Cavazos added two touchdowns on the ground. The Spartans are now 1-0 on the season.

Holliday (3-0) ran all over Vernon (1-2) in a 36-7 win over the Lions on Friday, Sept. 10, at Leo Brittain Field.
