It’s a cliche, but sometimes it’s accurate. The Lincoln Wolves defeated the Green Forest Tigers 41-12 in the 4A-1 conference opener for both teams on Friday, Sept.

The Green Forest Lady Tigers earned their fifth victory of the season on Tuesday, Sept. 20, beating visiting Lincoln in five sets.

The Berryville Lady Bobcats dropped a pair of conference games last week after sweeping Green Forest in a nonconference matchup to start the week. After topping the Lady Tigers 25-16, 25-16, 25-14 on Monday, Sept.

The Berryville Bobcats didn’t waste any time taking full control of last Friday’s game against Decatur. Berryville running back Nay Blut returned the opening kickoff inside Decatur territory, then took a shovel pass from quarterback Decimus Ruiz 39 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage to set the tone for the Bobcats’ 62-0 victory.

Finishing drives has been a point of emphasis for Green Forest coach Greg Tibbitt throughout his tenure as the Tigers’ head coach. Last Friday at Cedarville, the Tigers practiced what Tibbitt has been preaching.

On paper, it might seem as if the Berryville Lady Bobcats didn’t fare well on the volleyball court last week. But coach Kristin Whetham said she’s pleased with her team’s performance, and it’s progress.

Carroll County’s high school cross country teams have been busy over the past two weekends, competing in meets at Elkins and Siloam Springs. Green Forest sophomore Arauny Reyes took sixth place in the boys 1A-3A division at the Elkins Invitational on Sept.

On the scoreboard, the Greenland Pirates dominated last Friday’s game against Berryville at Bobcat Stadium, scoring touchdowns on all six of their first-half possessions on the way to a 41-7 victory.

The Green Forest Tigers’ bye week came at a good time, coach Greg Tibbitt said last week. After starting the season 0-2 with losses at home to West Fork and on the road at Greenland, the Tigers were ready for some time to regroup.

Berryville volleyball coach Kristin Whetham calls her team a work in progress. To win, Whetham says, the Lady Bobcats have to play with enthusiasm and intensity.
