The boys’ game featured a more intense dynamic with pumped up crowds – however Holliday completed the sweep with a 54-36 victory over Nocona.
“They presented a tough matchup because of the number of kids they threw at us,” said boys coach Tyson Mankin. “They had a good defensive plan, taking away everything we emphasize on the offense.”
Though the Indians got off to a slow start trailing 12-4 after one, they picked up the scoring pace, tying Holliday in second quarter scoring with 13.
The Tribe then got off to a high flying start in the second half, outscoring the visiting team 12-10 in the third quarter to enter the final frame trailing 35-29.
Nocona was just two points away from tying the game, but were unable to stop the rush of the Eagles’ offense.
“Our team defense wasn’t bad, we just were not able to get into a good rhythm on offense,” said Mankin. “When you struggle on offense you tend to gamble on defense. We did that, which turned a three point game in the fourth into an 18-point loss.”

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.
