The Forestburg High School girls’ basketball team began the 2014-2015 campaign playing host to Notre Dame.
The Lady Horns brought in the new season with a 40-33 win over the Lady Knights.
“We did an awesome job on offense,” said head coach Rosana Barbosa. “We played a strong defense against them as well. We were very aggressive; every player fought for the offensive rebound. Overall, we played a good game.”
Forestburg overcame a slow start, finding themselves down 10-1 at one point in the early stage of the game. But, then the Lady Horns went on a 6-0 run and the score was 10-7 in favor of Notre Dame after one.
The Lady Horns took the lead by intermission, 18-16.
After trailing by as many as six points in the third quarter, the Horns brought the score back to a 22-all tie.

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.
