The Holliday Lady Eagles collected a 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-15) sweep of City View to begin District 7-3A play with a win on Friday, Sept. 8.

Archer City battled Class 3A Millsap to a 0-0 draw after a quarter of play before lightning in the area ultimately ended the contest. After exchanging punts to open the game, Archer City took over near midfield midway through the opening quarter.

Windthorst was haunted by several turnovers and missed opportunities on offense in a 16-6 setback to Muenster on a lightning-filled Friday night. “We did not execute well in any of the three phases,” Trojans head coach Chris Tackett said following the loss.
