HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Nocona’s Nobile lauded
Nocona High School’s Ryder Nobile was recognized by District 2-3A-II as a second-team defensive back.
This wasn’t an easy season for Nocona, which finished the season winless as the Indians were a team in transition.
Promising newcomer Emmanual Gayton was an honorable mention at both running back and defensive end.
Barkley Hayes was tabbed as an honorable mention along both the offensive and defensive lines.
Parker Marshall was an honorable mention linebacker and Kyle Sentell the same as a defensive back.
Landen Lewis, a senior from Cisco, was chosen as the district’s most valuable player.
The Loboes qualified for the postseason – along with Eastland, Henrietta and Wichita Falls City View.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.
Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.
“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.
Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.
Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.
“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
