Bellevue Girls
The Lady Eagles played tough private school Christ Academy on Tuesday. Bellevue was able to pick up the win 38-26, though Coach John McGee felt like his team could have played better.
“We started the game off playing really good and then we started making a lot of mental mistakes,” McGee said. “I feel like we played really good defense, however, we couldn’t get the ball to fall for us. I believe we are going to be alright when we get some more quality games under our belt.”

Gold-Burg Boys
The Bears traveled to Lingleville on Tuesday following the layoff and things did not go well.
The young team lost 70-23 to the Cardinals. The Bears struggled to keep up with the constantly up-tempo Lingleville team as the game went on.
Still the team never gave up as the game closed, something Coach Leo Murguia said he was proud of.
“As the game progressed, and the deficit became larger, I never saw the boys give up,” Murguia said. “We were constantly trying to drive it inside and were successful. We were just unable to finish.”
Will Hodges led the team with eight points. The team hopes to get back senior Jacob Reno next week, whose previous experience on varsity will be a plus on a team full of freshman and sophomores.
The overall identity is not yet defined this early in the season yet, but Murguia feels like every game things are coming together better.
Gold-Burg next plays on Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. at home against Era.

Gold-Burg Girls
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears traveled to Lingleville on Tuesday to play the Lady Cardinals.
The Lady Bears struggled to score as they lost 72-15. Sadie Whitaker led the team with six points.
New Coach Carylynn Murguia returns a mostly young team with some experience mixed in. It has been a rough start in the wins and losses column, but Murguia likes where her team is headed.
“We have much to learn, but the girls are really working hard and doing everything I ask of them,” Murguia said. “I’m very proud of their attitudes and efforts so far.”
Gold-Burg next plays at 6 p.m. on Dec. 13 at Vernon Northside.

Saint Jo Girls
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers hosted Sacred Heart on Tuesday and struggled to keep up.
The Lady Tigers beat the Lady Panthers 55-24. Shaden Johnson led the team with eight points.
Saint Jo made the playoffs last season, but several key players graduated from that team.
With basketball only schools Slidell and Bellevue expected to take the top two spots in district, the dog fight for a playoff spot will be even tougher as many teams come in with young rosters.
District play will start with the Lady Panthers hosting the Lady Eagles at 6 p.m. on Dec. 17.

Rayder Mann hit a ground ball to third base that resulted in an error that drove in a run. Cy Egenbacher then hit an RBI single to put Bowie up 5-0 before the Mustangs had even hit.

The Jackrabbits kept the pressure in the fourth inning. Farris hit a three-run home run and Kesey later drove in another run with a double to make it 15-0 for Bowie.
The game continued into the fifth inning and City View needed to score at least six runs to keep the game going. The Mustangs broke up Kesey’s no-hitter on the mound with three straight singles to load the bases up with no outs.
Kesey finished strong, striking out the next two batters before inducing a fly ball to center field for the final out.
The Jackrabbits won 15-0.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians got some revenge by beating Perrin-Whitt on Thursday at home.
The Indians won 5-3 to hopefully make up for losing the previous game in the final inning against the Pirates.
Nocona had lost two days earlier to Perrin-Whitt 3-2 after leading for the entire game until the final inning.
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.

Missing scores

Five straight singles, one walk and a passed ball allowed City View to score four more runs to take the lead 11-7 heading into the final inning.
With Bowie down to its last three outs of the season, the team buckled up to get something going.

After a walk, Gossett came through and hit a single that drove in one more run to cut City View’s lead to one run.
With the tying run in scoring position, Bowie was in good condition but was also down to its last out.
