Both basketball programs from Forestburg and Prairie Valley competed in a tournament in Chico Thursday through Saturday.
Of the six games played Saturday, the final day of action, the four teams compiled a combined record of 2-4 with the Horns and Lady Horns taking the victories.
The Longhorns opened the day’s events against Boyd.
Despite keeping the score close, the Horns struggles at the free throw line was a glaring issue through the first half as the Yellowjackets took a 19-13 lead at the half. The game remained close; however, Boyd would prevail 48-40.
“We just did not play that well on either side of the ball,” said head coach Steve Sandusky. “On defense we looked sluggish and were not as aggressive as we need to be.”
Taten Vann and J.D. Moore paced the team with 12 points in the contest. Vann recorded three rebounds, two assists and two steals; Moore added six rebounds.
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs took the court next, playing the away team to the Boyd.
PV had a rough go at the game as they were unable to break through to double digits until the fourth quarter. Boyd won 49-10. Read more, and see box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
