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.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

Published

on

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
