There are so many connections for everyone involved at the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” Tournament, and this year proves no different.
The tournament is named in honor of Lane Fenoglio, who was killed in an auto accident on July 11, 1998, the summer before what would have been her sophomore year at Nocona High School.
“It’s so nice to see Lane’s memory kept alive,” said Lane’s mother, Janna Fenoglio.
The tournament will take place on Thursday and Saturday, Sept. 4 and 6 at various places in Nocona, including all three school gymnasiums as well as Baptist gym and “The Dome” in Saint Jo.
This year, Anderson-Shiro will travel up and compete in the same bracket as Bowie, along with Sanger, Ponder and Celina. All these teams will comprise Pool F.
Nocona is in Pool E, with pesky Petrolia, Bryson, Dodd City and Bonham. The Nocona JV will play in Pool A along with S&S Consolidated of Sadler, Henrietta, City View, Archer City and Burkburnett.
Tickets cost $6 for adults and $2 for students. There will be no charge for students attending Thursday’s matches.
Janna Fenoglio said Anderson-Shiro will stay at the Veranda Inn, and it marks a homecoming for one of the mothers.
Kathy Walker-Sayers, formerly of Ringgold, was Lane’s babysitter when she was young. Walker-Sayers’ daughter, Keaton, plays for Anderson-Shiro. Read more of the story in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
