The Nocona Lady Indians wrapped up the regular season with a win at Chico.
The straight set win for the Lady Indians 3-0 allowed Nocona to not only win the district title, but do it undefeated.

It is Nocona’s 14th straight win, last losing to 4A Krum in mid September.
With so many early season challenges to overcome including a roster with limited varsity experience, a new coaching staff and a new district, the team is cooking now as it heads into the playoffs.
The Lady Indians are set to play Tioga at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 at Gainesville in the bi-district round of the playoffs.

Saint Jo vs Gold-Burg

With the district title comes a bit of a wait as Saint Jo will have a bye through the bi-district round, not playing until the area round.
The Lady Panthers are scheduled to play warm-up games in the mean time against 2 p.m. on Oct. 29 at home against Poolville and at 3:45 p.m. on Nov. 1 at home against Benjamin.
For the Lady Bears, Coach Cheryl Cromleigh thought her team did not play up to its highest level. She did praise senior Shadie Whitaker who she said had her best match ever.
