Montague County schools run in WF

Published

Cross country teams from Bowie, Nocona and Forestburg traveled to Wichita Falls at the J.S. Bridwell Ag Center on Wednesday morning to compete with some of the area’s best teams.
The Bowie boys’ team elected to run in the 4A-6A race, while the rest of the teams ran in the 1A-3A race. The Jackrabbits finished third despite moving up. Sid Mayfield was Bowie’s top runner, finishing sixth place with a time of 20:02. Ignacio Saucedo was not far behind in 11th place while Brody Armstrong finished 16th, Trevor Vann finished 20th and Riley Harris 30th.
Coach Jonathon Horton liked how his guys accepted the challenge, but concedes there are still spots open on varsity.
“I was very pleased with how well our guys attacked a difficult course,” Horton said. “It was a great morning to run. The guys competed well with our opponents and each other. We still have three spots on the varsity that need to be decided by district.”
The Lady Rabbits also finished third in their race as Nocona finished second. With the 4A-6A girls race much longer than what either team is used to running, both ran in the 1A-3A race.
Kylie Rose finished first for the Lady Indians in second place as she ran a 13:41. Raylee Sparkman finished two spots behind her in fourth while Allie Brown and Claudia Espinoza both finished in the top 10 in seventh and 10th place. Sydnee Mowry rounded out the top five runners finishing in 25th place.
For the Lady Rabbits, Landra Parr finished first in eighth place with a time of 14:39. Julia Witt was next in 13th place followed by Jojo Villarreal in 14th, Brysen Richey in 21st place and Kaydee Jones in 24th place.
Forestburg also ran its three runners in the race as individuals. Sol Martinez finished first for the Lady Horns in 37th place with a time 17:36. Issabella Roller and Gracie White finished 45th and 46th to cap off Forestburg’s day.
The Nocona boys’ team ran in the 1A-3A race and finished third as a team. Hank Ulbig finished the race fifth overall with a time of 20:33 to lead the Indians.
Eli Croxton joined Ulbig in the top 10 with an eighth overall finish. Iziak Weatherread finished 13th, Frank Espinoza 16th and Miguel Gonzalez 18th to round out the scoring.

Softball Roundup

The Nocona Lady Indians beat Saint Jo at home on Saturday morning.
The Lady Indians won 16-1 after four innings due to run-rule against the smaller school.
Nocona was coming off a competitive loss at Collinsville earlier in the week while the Lady Panthers were hoping to compete after a busy week of their athletes doing everything else besides just softball.
The Lady Indians easily won the first matchup between the teams in March, 19-2 and it was more of the same on Saturday.
Saint Jo struck first to start the game off well. Jordyn O’Neal hit a one out single. Krista Reeves followed with a walk after O’Neal had stolen second base and had advanced to third thanks to an error trying to throw her out. A wild pitch then allowed her to score to put the Lady Panthers up 1-0.
The lead did not last long. Nocona’s first two batters drew walks which set up Abby Hill to drive them both in with a single to right field.
Despite giving up a single and a walk later in the inning, Saint Jo’s defense did not allow another run. A line out and groundout to the shortstop while picking off a runner attempting to steal got the Lady Panthers out of the inning unscarred.
The Lady Indians led 2-1.
That was about as competitive as it got. In the second inning, Nocona’s bats got going. Two singles and a hit batter loaded the bases up with no outs.
Reagan Phipps drew a walk that drove in a run. Hill hit another two RBI single. Skye Kirby followed with a two RBI double.
After the first out, Allie Sutton drove in one run with a single. There was a fly out for out two, before a runner came in to score after a passed ball. Finally, an error allowed two more runs to score on the base paths.
Nocona had scored nine runs and led 11-1 to break the game open heading into the third inning.
Taylor Patrick hit a double, with O’Neal and Reeves following with singles. Unfortunately for Saint Jo, Patrick was thrown out before the hits attempting to steal a base so the Lady Panthers scored no runs from this.
The Lady Indians kept pouring on the runs. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases up with no outs. Tinley Cable then hit an RBI single. Shelby Swell was hit by a pitch that drove in another run.
After two strikeouts, Evelyn Marquez drove in two more runs on a double to put Nocona up 15-1, coming up one run short of ending the game early.
The Lady Indians scored that one run in the fourth inning. After Phipps drew a leadoff walk, Hill hit a triple that drove her in to end the game.
Nocona won 16-1.
