Due to scouting ahead to the postseason for the Lady Rabbits, the girls and boys games against City View were split up over two days.
The Lady Rabbits opened the week’s activities Monday evening.
Bowie had no issues with the Lady Mustangs, earning another district win and fourth straight district title with an 83-19 win.
“The girls played well,” said girls coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “They did what they needed to do.”
The Lady Rabbits, ranked 13th in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, struggled a bit very early but still had a 21-8 margin at the end of one quarter.
“They missed some early baskets, but we got rolling after that,” said Davis.
Once again, the Lady Rabbits defense held their opponent to single digit scoring in each quarter; the eight scored in the opening quarter was the most allowed.
Four Lady Rabbits reached double digit scoring in the game.
They were led by Courtney Brady, who again outscored the opposing team, scoring 20 points. She added four rebounds, three assists and four steals.

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.
