The Tioga football team has changed its offense in recent weeks, and it was on full display in Friday night’s game at Joe Corpening Field.
“They have been running more of a ball control offense now,” Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said. “We were very well prepared for them on paper.”
However, Johnson added Tioga was tough to stop because the Bears are currently depleted by injuries and players are in new positions.
In the end, Tioga defeated Gold-Burg 55-8.
Tioga stormed out to a 33-8 lead after one quarter.
The Bears’ only score also came in the first as Kasen Allen scrambled his way from 25 yards out after being unable to find an open receiver. Colt Rainey tacked on the extra two points.
It would be all Gold-Burg can muster however as Tioga piled on 22 more points and induced the mercy rule.
The Bears struggled offensively, outgained 342-73.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
