Nocona
The Nocona Indians were able to keep their season alive on Tuesday with a win at Henrietta in their final district game.
From the beginning, the Indians were able to attack the Bearcats zone with their shooting as they won 62-40.
Going up 17-5 in the first quarter, Nocona never let Henrietta have any hope as the lead stayed in the double digits throughout the game. By the end, the Indians made 10 three-pointers throughout the game as their quest for a playoff appearance continues.
Coach Colby Schniederjan liked what he saw from his team.
“I am proud of the way we came out and attacked their zone,” Schniederjan said. “We shot the ball well, were unselfish in passing the ball and setting up teammates.”
Rowdy Waters led the way with 17 points with Alex Diaz right behind him with 16 points, including four three-pointers. Joan Gomez joined them in double figures with 10 points.
With the win, the Indians will have played City View on Friday in a play-in game for the fourth seed in the district and the final playoff spot. Having beat them the previous game, Nocona hopes they can have a repeat performance.
If they win, their bi-district game will be played on Feb. 18-19.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers were able to finish their regular season off right with a home win against Midway.
Despite playing the type of game and pace that benefited the Falcons, the Panthers came out on top 57-52 to finish district with only three losses and the number two seed.
Coach Michael Wheeler liked how his team was able to do what needed to be done at the end to win the game.
“Towards the end we were able to make a run as a result of our defensive pressure, and capitalized on their turnovers because of key baskets from Logan Morman,” Wheeler said.
Morman led the team with 20 points and Brock Durham joined him in double figures with 10.
Saint Jo plays Newcastle in the bi-district round of the playoffs at 6 p.m. on Feb. 19 at Henrietta.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears kept hope for their season alive with a win at Bellevue on Tuesday.
The Bears made up their previous loss to the Eagles with a 53-40 win as they won three of their last four games to give themselves a chance at the playoffs.
While Gold-Burg had been riding the hot hand of Tanner Parrish in the post, Blake Allen turned in one of his best games of the year as well. Parrish scored 22 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, but Allen was right behind him with 19 points as they left Bellevue behind.
It was not the prettiest game from the Bears as they shot 35 percent from the field, made only one three-pointer and turned the ball over 16 times. They did shoot 15-20 from the free throw line and hold a good Bellevue team to 40 points to get the win in a must have game on the road.
With the win, Gold-Burg played Midway on Friday in a play-in game at Henrietta for the third seed and the district’s final playoff spot. With a roster full of senior players, it will be this group’s last chance to try and make some noise in the post season.
With an upset win against Saint Jo on their resume, they will be more than ready to face a number one seed in the bi-district if they win.
The bi-district game will be scheduled for Feb. 18-19 if they win Friday night.

Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Panthers got out of their early season funk as they beat fellow 1A Bellevue twice last week on two different days.
The Panthers won the first high-scoring game 15-9 before shut out the Eagles 10-0 in the second game.
Saint Jo had a rough beginning to its season, with mostly ugly losses and only one win.
Bellevue came in with no wins, but it was not unexpected due to it being the Eagles first year as a program since the late 1990s.
Bellevue led the first game for most of it scoring five runs in the first inning and just holding off the Panthers 5-4 heading into the sixth inning.
Saint Jo then caught fire, scoring six runs in the sixth inning to take its first lead since the first inning. The Eagles kept it close and scored four runs to make it a one run game 10-9 heading into the final inning.
The game had to be postponed due to Bellevue’s new field not having any lights to play past a certain time.
When the game was picked up three days later, the Panthers added five more run to their lead. The Eagles could not answer and Saint Jo won the game 15-9.
Devein Stewart and Logan Hoover led the Panthers four RBIs each while Charlie Evans and R Forrester drove in two runs each.
Trent Gaston pitched 4.1 innings and allowed two runs and struck out seven batters to lead the team.
Saint Jo’s defense committed four errors.
For Bellevue, Brayden Moore led the team with three RBIs while Bryce Ramsey and Ryan Jones each drove in two runs.
Ramsey pitched five innings and allowed four runs while striking out nine batters to lead the team.
The second game picked up right after the end of the first game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the second game went similarly to the end of first game.
Saint Jo scored three runs in the first inning, four in the second inning and three in the third inning.
The Panther defense shut out Bellevue and the game ended with Saint Jo winning 10-0 after four and half innings due to run rule.
Sam Martin led the Panthers with four RBIs while Evans drove in two runs. Stewart pitched three innings and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out six batters. Hoover pitched two innings and struck out four batters while allowing no hits and walking two batters. The team committed no fielding errors.
For Bellevue, River Trail got the only hit in the game for the team. The team drew three walks, but could not get on base.
Blake Reese led the team with two innings pitched and three earned runs on two hits and five walks while striking out two batters. The defense committed no fielding errors.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost their second game against Muenster on Friday on the road.
The Indians lost 10-0 after five innings due to run-rule as the Hornets picked up all of their runs in one horrible inning for Nocona.
The score was tied at 0-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning. The Indian defense had navigated one out singles the first two innings without letting it morph into anything threatening.
Unfortunately, the third inning saw Muenster get going from the first batter.
Five singles, two doubles, two walks and a hit batter later saw the Hornets score 10 runs.
Nocona’s bats had been able to get someone on base in most innings despite Walker Murphey getting the team’s only base hit, but could not get a run to score.
The Indian defense did bounce back to not allow any runs in the fourth or fifth inning, but with no runs coming through for Nocona, the game ended after five innings.
Muenster won 10-0.

Then came the fourth inning. Five fielding errors and two singles contributed to the Lady Hornets scoring six runs to go up 8-0.
The Lady Indians struggled to get their bats going all game though they did get some base runners that could have been worked home with some timely plays in other games.
Muenster added one more run in the sixth inning to make the final score 9-0.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers lost a shootout at Era on Friday night.
The Lady Hornets won 25-15 in a game that ended early after six innings due to run-rule.
Saint Jo was trailing the early part of the game down 9-1 after three innings.
The Lady Panthers then had a huge offensive inning, scoring nine runs in the fourth inning to go up 10-9.

The Lady Hornets then embarked on an inning from hell for the Lady Panthers, more than doubling their score and not ending until Era was up by 10 runs to end the game early.
The Lady Hornets had scored 13 runs to win 25-15.
