Kalyn Crow, Emma Meekins, Magye Fenoglio and Makenzie Franklin all played critical roles for the Nocona High School girls’ basketball team in its District 3A-9 overtime victory over City View.
On Nocona’s first possession of the extra frame, Crow canned a 3-pointer from the wing.
City View then took a 51-49 lead with 2 minutes, 14 seconds left in overtime.
The Lady Mustangs had a chance to forge ahead further, but Fenoglio stole a City View pass and fed Meekins for the tying basket.
City View took the lead again before Franklin made a scoop shot on the lane to give Nocona a 54-53 victory in Lady Indians’ head coach Bradley McGann’s first district foray.
“They are so athletic,” McGann said of City View. “Because they are so athletic, they will expose your mistakes.”
McGann said the Lady Indians had to play patient basketball.
“We have to find opportunities to score,” he said. “We were able to get some open looks and make our opportunities count.”
Nocona continues to mold its identity as a team of girls who fight to win. After a 1-5 start to the 2014-15 campaign, the Lady Indians stood at 6-6 heading into Friday night’s district tilt versus Jacksboro.

Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
