For the Nocona High School baseball team, earning a victory in the District 3A-9 opener was the just desserts.
The Indians used a station-to-station style and Jaxon Phipps pitched well enough as Nocona defeated homestanding Henrietta 9-6 on Tuesday.
“It’s a good win for us,” Nocona second-year head coach Brent Lewis said. “I told the kids to have tunnel vision and focus just on this game. I’m proud of the kids.”
Nocona stood at 5-3 overall, 1-0 in 3A-9, before Friday’s game versus Boyd, which was played at Henrietta due to poor field conditions in Nocona.
Nocona battled through self-inflicted adversity, too. The Indians won despite committed five errors which helped keep Henrietta close.
“I know we made some mistakes,” Lewis said. “They punched us, and we punched them. But, as the kids have learned, if they make an error, they can’t dwell on them.”
Phipps battled through to earn a complete-game victory.
Lewis had faith and left Phipps out on the bump to finish the job, and Jaxon did. Phipps allowed only one earned run on four hits. He struck out 10 and recorded 18 first-pitch strikes in 30 official Henrietta at-bats. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
