Nocona teams win on the road at Breckenridge
Both Nocona teams won at Breckenridge, but did it in different ways.
The Lady Indians won the game in a blowout 79-31. The Indians had to go to overtime to pull out a defensive grind-it-out game 38-34.
The Nocona boy’s played on Friday and the first half was rough. The Indians made only four baskets, but thankfully three of them were 3-pointers.
Their defense kept them in it as the Buckaroos only led 15-11 at halftime.
Nocona did a better job of getting some shots around the rim in the second half.
The game was tight throughout regulation as neither team’s offense scored enough to pull away. After four quarters the game was tied at 27-27 and was sent to overtime.
The Indians got big 3-pointers from experienced guards Lyndon Fenoglio and Landry McCasland to put the team up some.
This forced Breckenridge to start fouling Nocona, sending both players to the free throw line down the stretch.
The two combined to make five of their six attempts to close out the game as the Indians won 38-34.
There was much less drama in Saturday’s Lady Indians game. Nocona’s offense came out ready to run against a Breckenridge team it knew could not keep up.
The Lady Indians scored 20 or more points in both the first two quarters while the Lady Buckaroos struggled to finish with double-digits.
Nocona pushed the ball in transition off of defensive rebounds with either full-court outlet passes or charges led by senior Averee Kleinhans. She scored 21 of her game high 30 points in the first half.
Up 50-10 at halftime, the Lady Indians called off the dogs in the second half.
The Lady Buckaroos scored in double-figures in both the third and fourth quarter while Nocona’s offense settled down to 29 points as it coasted to the win.

The Bowie boys golf team competed at the Diamondback National Golf Course in Abilene for a big tournament on Monday.
Coach Matthew Miller did not report what place the team got, but indicated the tournament was both big and deep of players and schools from bigger schools than the team usually competes with.
The team’s total was not its best, but it was not far off what it has been shooting, but for this tournament that was not enough to finish as high as it usually does.
Cy Egenbacher led the team shooting 80. Zac Harris was one shot behind shooting 87. Rayder Mann and Andrew Sandhoff rounded off the team’s scoring shooting 87 and 89 for a 337 total.
Hunter Fluitt shot 106 for the team, but it did not count towards it.
Hunter Lea competed as an individual and ended up shooting 85.
Miller thought his players had trouble stringing good holes together.
The bump in the competition has hopefully prepared the team for the district tournament next week. The Bowie Lady Rabbits team spent time at the district course this week instead of competing in a tournament.
It is scheduled for a two-day tournament on March 29-30 at River Creek Golf Course in Burkburnett.

The Bowie track teams went to two different meets this week with the boys going to Jacksboro and the girls competing at City View.
The Bowie boy’s team finished fourth overall while the Lady Rabbits team standing was not shared.
The Jackrabbits changed meets to Wednesday to allow any powerlifting boys the chance to compete since five were going to the state meet and it would have conflicted with Thursday’s original meet at City View.
Bowie came away with two first place finishes.
For the Lady Rabbits competing at City View, Neely Price and Amylee Valdez had the best individual finishes.

The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team came on in the fifth and sixth innings to steal the win from Vernon at home on Tuesday night.
The Jackrabbits scored six runs in their final two innings to pull ahead 7-5 against the Lions.
Bowie came into the game following a disappointing loss to Iowa Park the previous week which meant it was at 1-1 in district play so far. Vernon came into the game with two losses against Jacksboro and Holliday, the Lions had only lost to the reigning district champ Eagles 2-1 with Cross Durham on the mound.
Vernon started him on Tuesday and Bowie answered with freshman Edmond DeLeon, who despite his age has been the best pitcher this season for the Jackrabbits.
DeLeon got off to a rough start in the opening inning. The Lions loaded the bases after a single and two walks with one out. Next batter hit a double to left field that scored two runs to put Vernon up 2-0.
DeLeon had runners at third and second, but struck out the next batter and induced an infield pop out to shortstop for out three to limit the damage.
