Holliday and Windthorst both ensured themselves of playing a little more volleyball once November rolls around. The Lady Eagles and Trojanettes each locked up, at the very least, a postseason bid with an opportunity to put the finishing touches on a district championship in the coming matches.

Windthorst overcame several big plays by the Pirates and fought off a feisty Petrolia squad in a 30-18 homecoming win on Friday, Oct. 7.

Archer City rushed for over 13 yards per carry, picking up 316 yards on 23 totes, in a lopsided win over a listless Electra team, 54-6.

Just like they’ve done all season long, the Holliday Eagles and Lady Eagles finished at the top of the medal stand following the District 7-3A Cross Country Championships on Monday, Oct. 10.

Second-ranked Holliday held Valley View to a meager 37-yards of total offense and four first downs in a 55-0 drubbing over the Eagles. Despite turning the ball over three times via fumble, Holliday managed its first shutout of the season and lowered its points allowed per game to 10.2 after the win.
