BONHAM — The Paris Lady Cats started District 10-3A volleyball action by notching a three-game victory over defending district champion Bonham, beating the Lady Warriors on their home court, 25-22, 25-17, 25-16.
Lady Cat sophomore Andi Bawcum had a game-high 18 kills, served two aces and had nine digs. Junior Tiara Hall had 13 kills and four blocks, while ShaTaylor Moore had nine kills and four digs.
Kendall McDonald had six kills and 11 digs.
Caroline Chappell had 36 assists, served an ace and had six digs, Katie Cade had six digs and served two aces. Bailey Reavis had two aces and nine digs, and Alex Garrison had five digs.
“This was definitely a good district start for us. We had a couple of kids who had not been feeling well and that kinda gave me a scare,” said Paris coach Melanie Hodges, whose team was swept by Bonham in district last season. “I’m just happy to get the first win.”
Bawcum got Paris off to an impressive start in Game 1 on Tuesday when she delivered 11 kill shots.
In Game 2, Bonham took the early lead before Moore nailed three kills to put the Lady Cats ahead for good.
Bonham, which went 10-0 in league play in 2008, fell to 18-13 on the season.
Paris (22-5, 1-0) is off on Friday and hosts North Lamar (17-12, 1-0) on Tuesday. North Lamar upset No. 14 Van Alstyne at home in five games last night. Bonham hosts No. 7 Commerce on Tuesday.
CHISUM SWEEPS CLARKSVILLE
The Chisum Lady Mustangs notched their 20th victory of the season, but, more importantly, remained undefeated in District 12-2A volleyball action by beating visiting Clarksville in three games, 25-9, 25-22, 25-19, Tuesday night in Mustang Gym.
Sierra Hurley had 12 kills and a block, Shelbie Monkres had 10 kills and four blocks, and Kristen Hodges served six aces for the Lady Mustangs (20-5, 4-0). Mercedes Graham had three kills, Allie Moore had two kills and six digs, Taylor Halliburton had 10 assists and Lauren Richardson had 13 assists for Chisum.
LADY PATS

REDWATER — The Prairiland Lady Patriots held off Redwater in Game 3 to take down the Lady Dragons in three games, 25-19, 25-10, 25-23, and remain undefeated in District 12-2A volleyball action Tuesday night.

LADY EAGLES
WIN IN THREE
SULPHUR SPRINGS — The No. 20 Detroit Lady Eagles began their week in much easier fashion than just one week, as they claimed a 25-19, 25-10, 25-21 triumph over Sulphur Bluff Tuesday.
Last week, the Lady Eagles fell to Wolfe City to begin District 17-A competition and defeated Avery later in the week.
Detroit (24-3, 2-1) was led in kill shots by Adrienne Bronner in Tuesday’s victory over Sulphur Bluff. Bronner had 12 kills and three blocks in the victory.
Stephanie Cashion added seven kills and Brianna Williams had six kills. Brooke Griffin had a team-high 23 assists.
LADY DRAGONS WIN
GAINESVILLE - The Paris Junior College Lady Dragons edged North Central Texas College by scores of 25-13, 24-26, 17-25, 25-17, 15-12 Tuesday night.
Hillary Baugh led the Lady Dragons with 20 kills, while Logan Anglin added 11 of her own.
Adrienne Boswell had 23 assists, and Morganne Fikes had 19 digs.
“It was a well fought match by both sides," PJC head coach Justin Maness said. "It's tough to drop two in a row and regain momentum. The ladies regrouped in set four and evened out the sets. Game five was tight up to eight points and we began pulling away.
"We have been working hard in practice and stressing finishing. We played great defense down stretch and made key offensive plays when needed.”
The two teams will have a rematch Thursday at 6 p.m. inside the Hunt Center.
