With their recent string of good team finishes and fast times, Nocona hopes to have a shot finishing among the top at the district meet next week. Coach Kyle Spitzer knows his girls will step up.
“The girls know where they need to be come Thursday’s race,” Spitzer said. “They’ll be ready.”

Coach Colby Schniederjan likes how all his runners have continued to push their times lower throughout the season and hopes that will happen at the district meet.
“We ran tough at Brock,” Schniederjan said. “It was a soft course, but we persevered. We have talked about running our best races as individuals the past few weeks. We have done that. We have a great opportunity to compete for a regional berth, as a team, at the district meet next week.”
The district meet will be on Oct. 11 at Holliday High School.

The second game it was the Pirates that led for the majority of the game, leading 2-1 after the first inning. The Indians tied the score 2-2 after the third inning, but Perrin-Whitt got the lead back in the fourth inning with one run to make it 4-3.
Nocona took control in the sixth inning when Wesley Murpehy drove in two runs with a double. Brody Langford followed him with an RBI single to double the Indians score and put them up 6-4.
This time around, Nocona’s defense held on in the final inning, allowing only one base runner before closing the game with little trouble.
