Pioneers get fi rst SAC win
shortens
triangular
CANYON — For what
golf they got to play on
Saturday, it was an improvement.
The Plainview Bulldog
boys golf team competed
in the weather-shortened
Canyon ISD Triangular,
but only got to play nine
holes.
Plainview took second
in its triangle with a 166
while Dumas fi nished with
a 158 and Pampa rounded
out the group with a 168.
Individually, Jacob Rogers
led the Bulldogs with a
2-over par 38 while Marshall
Thomas fi nished with
a 39. Keiffer McBeth shot
a 43 while Trent Kinkaid
and Tim Gonzales shot 46
and 48, respectively.
Overall, the performance
was an improvement for
Plainview, even in the
lackluster weather.
“We still had a couple
of holes that hurt us,” said
head coach Mike Lewis.
“We’ll have 4 or 5 good
holes and then take a double
or worse, hit it out of
bounds, or 3-putt, but that’s
what this stuff is about in
the fall — getting experience
and learning some
golf courses.”
Plainview will next play
Oct. 28 in Borger for its fi -
nal match of the fall.
Pioneers

South Plains College,
while the women, with two

Individually, freshman

By Wayland Baptist University
It had been four games since
the Wayland Baptist women’s
soccer team had scored a goal
and fi ve since the Pioneers had
recorded a win. On a cold, dreary
Saturday afternoon at Hilliard
Field, the WBU women fi -
nally put an end to the drought,
getting three goals from three
different players to capture a
3-0 victory over Northwestern
Oklahoma State University.
Sophomore Brittany Johnson
snapped the scoreless streak
with a goal almost seven minutes
into the second period of
the contest off a pass from Roxy
Paslay. Less than four minutes
later, junior Najuka Anderson
took a corner kick from Jessica
Hershon to give the home team

a 2-0 advantage, and Hershon
scored a long unassisted goal
from the left wing to fi nish out
the scoring just seven minutes
after that.
“It was a total team effort,”
said a pleased, but very cold
WBU coach Shiloh Posey. “It
feels great to get a win.”
Posey singled out junior
transfer Janell Millander for an
outstanding game. “Janell did
one of the best jobs for us all
year. Her effort helped us score
that last goal. She really did a
lot today.”
Pioneer freshman goalkeeper
Shelby Ohler picked up her
second win of the season, combining
with junior Kylie Middleton,
who closed things out,
for the shutout. Ohler had four
saves in her 61-plus minutes of
Offer Expires 11/30/2009
work.
Defensively, WBU held the
Rangers to just six shots on
goal. On offense, Wayland outshot
its opponent 11-6 in the
second period and 19-12 for
the match. Anderson had fi ve
shots, Hershon four and Paslay
and Johnson got off three shots
apiece.
Both the Pioneer women and
men travel to Bethany, Okla.
on Tuesday for a match against
Southern Nazarene University,
and then return home on Thursday
to take on Mid-America
Christian. Thursday’s game was
originally scheduled for Friday,
but moved up to accomodate
WBU’s fall break. Game times
against MACU are 11 a.m. for
the women and 1 p.m. for the
men.

BATTLE OF EIGHTS: Wayland’s Ashley
Woodall (front) battles with Northwestern
Oklahoma’s Hannah Layden during Saturday’s
match.
Wayland sweeps St. Greg’s, beats OBU in fi ve sets
By Wayland Baptist University
Wayland Baptist head volleyball
coach Jim Giacomazzi
has his team almost right
where he wants it going into
Tuesday night’s Sooner Athletic
Conference match at No.
18 Lubbock Christian University.
Giacomazzi’s squad has
won three straight, including
two this weekend on the road
against St. Gregory’s University
and Oklahoma Baptist.
The Pioneers swept St. Greg’s
in three sets on Friday (25-
17, 25-17, 25-13) and came

52 yards on 19 carries but
was unable to break anything
longer than eight yards
all night.
The 57 rushing yards was
a stark departure from the
209 the Bulldogs picked up
last week against Pampa that
allowed Plainview to dictate
the fl ow of the game.
Instead, Friday night was
dictated by Lake View’s big
play receiver J.D. Smith,
who fi nished with six catches
for 152 yards and three
touchdowns.
Senior defensive back
Jonathan Solis was charged
with covering Smith most of
the night.
“We were just trying to
jam him and get in his face,”
Solis said.
The Bulldogs’ pass defense
came into Friday after
giving up 295 yards with
hopes of improving, but
Lake View was able to take
advantage of the smaller
Bulldog secondary as Lake
View quarterback Paxton
Martin went 20-35 for 337
yards and three TDs.
“We didn’t cover their
receivers. We let ’em get
by us,” Coach Hinojos said.
“One thing we went into this
from behind to defeat OBU
in fi ve (23-25, 25-22, 27-25,
16-25, 15-12) on Saturday.
Wayland is now tied for
second in the conference
standings with a 4-2 mark
and is 16-3 overall.
“I’m really pleased with
the way we played against
OBU. It was an extremely
close match that had a huge
number of lead changes, but
the girls kept their composure
and did a good job of
taking care of what needed to
be done to come away with a
win,” Giacomazzi said.
game feeling we needed to
do was be aggressive with
the receivers, and I don’t
think we did it.”
Hinojos also was disappointed
in the play of the
defensive line.
“We felt like we were a
better defensive line than
they were an offensive line.
. . . I’m just highly disappointed.
That’s not the same
group of kids that came out
last week,” said Hinojos.
After stopping Lake View
on its fi rst possession, the
troubles for Plainview’s offense
began on the fi rst offensive
play of the night
when Miller tried to go deep
down the middle of the fi eld
to Curry and was picked off
by Lake View’s Matt Hummingbird.
Hummingbird
was responsible for three
Plainview turnovers — two
interceptions and a fumble
recovery.
After the pick, Martin and
Smith hooked up for the fi rst
time on a 42-yard pass with
25 seconds left in the quarter
that put the Chiefs up, 7-2.
On Plainview’s fi rst possession
of the second quarter,
Miller made a slightly
errant pitch to running back
Roy Smith on an option play
and the ball ended up on the
ground.
After Lake View recovered
“We still aren’t playing as
well as we did early in the season,
but we’re getting there. We
hit really well as a team, eliminating
a lot of the attack errors
that have plagued us lately.”
The Pioneers were down
10-8 in the fi nal set on Saturday,
but got three straight kills
by Sabrina Davis, Jennifer
Wyatt and Kimberli Harger
to take an 11-10 lead. Wyatt,
who registered a career
high in kills against the Lady
Bison, put down her 19th for
the fi nal point of the match.
“We knew that we were go-
the fumble on the Bulldogs’
18-yard line, Martin hit Roy
Garcia on an out route that
took the Chiefs to the 1-yard
line. One play later Martin
scored on a 1-yard sneak up
the middle to put Lake View
up by two scores.
After a three and out by
the Dogs, Lake View went
on a 66-yard drive that culminated
in an 11-yard pass
to Smith in the back of the
end zone that put Lake View
up 21-2 with 8:16 left in the
half.
On the Bulldogs’ ensuing
drive, the offense was fi nally
able to string plays together.
Plainview got to the 3-yard
line when Miller picked up a
fi rst down on third and 6. A
couple of plays later, Jonathan
Garza broke through
the line for a 3-yard TD that
pulled Plainview within two
scores.
But on Lake View’s next
possession, Martin and
Smith hooked up for the
third and fi nal time on a 61yard
TD that put the Chiefs
back ahead by three scores.
After halftime, Plainview’s
defensive adjustments
were able to keep the
ing to have to attack out of the
middle, which is something
we have been trying to do, and
today Jennifer fi nally started
connecting. She had a very
nice afternoon with just a couple
of hitting errors, and a really
good attack percentage.”
Sophomores Kimberli
Harger and Sabrina Davis
and junior Desiree Luevano
also hit the double-digit mark
in kills. Harger got her eighth
double-double of the season
with 16 kills and 21 digs,
Davis had 13 kills and three
blocks, and Luevano had her
Chiefs under control, but the
offense was unable to take
advantage until late in the
fourth quarter.
“We went to a man defense
and we got in their
face and executed that well,”
Solis said of the secondary’s
second-half adjustments.
With a little more than fi ve
minutes left to play, Miller
hit Curry for a 52-yard pass
that pulled Plainview back
within two scores.
On the ensuing kickoff,
Smith booted a perfect onside
kick that Solis snagged
out of the air to give Plainview
another possession . . .
and a glimmer of hope.
“I’m thinking at that
point we’re going to score,
then onside again,” Hinojos
said. “The defense is playing
good, it doesn’t matter
if they get the football, and
we had two timeouts left at
that point. I thought we’d
at least have a chance to tie
it up at that point if not go
ahead.”
However, on the fi rst play
from scrimmage, Miller was
picked off by Hummingbird,
which effectively ended any
chance for Plainview to ral-

Plainview Christian snaps losing streak with win over Olton
OLTON — The Plainview Christian
Lady Eagles ended their losing
streak Saturday as they defeated the
Olton Lady Mustangs in four sets,
17-25, 25-18, 27-25, 25-17.
PCHS head coach Deanna Mason
said the team started off playing nervously
and made some small errors
that allowed Olton to win the fi rst
set. The Lady Eagles (6-15) calmed
down in the second set, and it started
to show in their improved play.
“When we settled down and started
making our serves and playing
some volleyball, we did just fi ne,”
Mason said. “I just told them to put
it in play, and let (Olton) make the
mistakes.”
In the tight third set, PCHS went
point for point with the Lady Mustangs.
Eventually, Jennifer Rowell took
over the service game and hit two
hard aces that sealed the set for the
Lady Eagles. In addition to her two
aces, Rowell had 26 digs.
In the fourth set, the Lady Eagles
carried over the momentum from the
third and easily clinched the match
with their biggest win of the match.
Kamber Hayes led PCHS with
seven kills, 11 digs and two blocks
while Beckah Sisemore added six
kills and 52 digs. Bonnie Kate
Sisemore had a double-double for
the Lady Eagles, picking up 21 digs
and handing out 14 assists while also
getting three aces.
Beckah Spain contributed 27 digs
and an ace; Lauren Johnson had three
blocks, Macy Bennet had one ace
and 32 digs; Cristen Bothwell had
two kills, six digs and two blocks;
and Audrey Sisemore had 13 digs.
Going forward into the last part of
district play, Mason said her team
needs to take the good things from
this match and apply them.
“We need to be more aggressive
in the back row, we tend to let things
drop, thinking the other one is going
to get the ball. We fi nally have
confi dence in ourselves and we’ve
started hitting the ball,” Mason said.
The Lady Eagles will hold senior
night Tuesday when they host Christ
the King. The match is set to start
at 6 p.m.
The JV Lady Eagles also beat Olton,
25-19, 17-25, 25-18.
Shelby Maresca led the JV with
eight kills and 13 digs. Audrey
Sisemore had eight aces and four
assists; Rachel Masten had 15 digs;
Kayla Steffens had three aces; Marisol
Holguin had 11 digs; and T’Ann
Battey had two aces and 14 digs.
