The Nocona High School boys’ basketball team continues to find new ways to win.
On Tuesday evening in District 3A-9 action, the Indians used a balanced offensive attack to defeat Paradise 58-47 and sweep the season series from the Panthers.
This game didn’t have quite the dramatics as the one-point thriller the two teams played in Paradise earlier this month, with the Indians coming out on top 66-65.
Nocona improved to 14-9 overall, and they lead the district by one game over Bowie and Holliday.
“We believe we have multiple kids that can carry the load offensively any given night, and against Paradise, that confirmed to be true,” Nocona head boys’ basketball coach Tyson Mankin said.
Zach Trentham tallied 13 points and also played stellar defense, matched up on Panthers’ point guard Landry Norwood. Brenton Vineyard and Jaxon Phipps both totaled 12 points and Kameron Hill – who battled foul trouble throughout the game – netted 10 points.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
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.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

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 8th 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 2nd 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.
