For area boys and girls golfers, just playing the sport proved to be a comforting feeling after the most recent stretch of rainy weather.
Bowie and Nocona played in the Norman Waters Invitational at Indian Oaks Golf Course, a par-70 which measures at 5,792 yards. Course conditions were still soggy from Saturday evening’s soaking rains.
“The course was still wet, but we were happy to be playing again,” Bowie head coach Jonathon Horton said. “This was our last tune-up before district.”
Next week, Bowie and Nocona will compete in a two-day District 3A-9 tournament, with Tuesday’s round at Runaway Bay and then Thursday at River Creek up in Burkburnett.
Nocona’s Josie Chism was the girls’ medalist with a 96, much to the delight of the small, hearty home crowd attending the event.
“I think she’s capable of even shooting lower,” Nocona coach Brad McGann said. “She was the only varsity girl to break 100. Her short game benefitted her, and she was always in good position.”
Chism was seven strokes clear of the field.
Maybe partially because of home-course advantage, but Nocona finished ahead of Bowie in both the boys and girls fields.
Stephanie Clement fired Bowie’s lowest round with a 106, while Chloe Polk was next at 108. That marked Clement’s career-best score, Horton reported. Read more, and see complete scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.

Coming into the Jan. 30 District 9-2A battle between Nocona and Windthorst at Indian Gym, most fans expected a repeat performance of the first meeting, which the Indians won in overtime.

The Trojans had other ideas.

Playing a very aggressive style from the get-go, Windthorst took control early by using 82% shooting from the field to take a 15-point lead after one quarter. It would prove to be the difference in a 61-48 win over the Indians before a packed house.

Both teams are now 6-2 in district (Nocona 27-4 overall, Windthorst 20-6).

In the Jan. 31 battle between the boys basketball teams of Bowie and City View, the host Rabbits hung with the District 7-3A leaders for nearly a half but the Mustangs used their athleticism and speed to pull away in the second half of a 71-58 win.

Bowie is now 1-7 in district and 11-18 overall with City View goes to 7-1 and 15-6. Bowie Coach Ryan Dykes said his squad played hard for a while but needs to put together four quarters.

“I liked our start, our intensity from the tip,” Dykes said. “We did a good job rotating defensively and that seemed to rattle them early.”

Sy Parker wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday in a big way.

The Nocona sophomore did just that, pacing a big first quarter for the Lady Indians with 17 points and six rebounds. The hosts fed off of that and would end up cruising over Windthorst, 61-23 Friday afternoon.

Nocona ran its record to 22-7 and 8-1 in District 9-2A while Windthorst is now 12-12 and 6-3 in district. Lady Indian Coach Kyle Spitzer’s pregame want of playing fast came to fruition.

“We like to push the pace and we did that, most notably Sy,” Spitzer said. “When (Windthorst) went into a zone (defense), it slowed us down a bit.”
