Boyd got the best of Nocona in both baseball and softball on Friday at the Henrietta High School Outdoor Sports Complex.
The Nocona baseball team committed eight errors in an 8-4 loss to Boyd in District 3A-9 action, while the Lady Jackets recorded seven extra-base hits in a 16-0 four-inning conquest in softball.
Nocona head baseball coach Brent Lewis said it was more a matter of Boyd’s pitching rather than the Indian defense.
“Boyd’s pitcher, he threw a great game,” Lewis said. “We didn’t get it done at the plate and we made some key mistakes in the field.”
Lewis said the boys are working hard to get better, but it’s been tough since outdoor practices have been few and far between due to horrendous weather this March.
Nocona continued its 3A-9 slate at Jacksboro on Tuesday evening. Baseball stands at 5-4, 1-1 in 3A-9 while softball dropped to 3-10, 0-4.

Baseball
Boyd’s Spencer Pelligrini pitched a complete game, throwing 103 pitches in all and 72 of them for strikes. Nocona didn’t help itself in the count as Pelligrini threw 18 first-pitch strikes.

Softball
Boyd has perhaps the best batting order in the entire district, and that was on full display against Nocona as the Lady Jackets generated 14 hits in four innings. Read more, and see complete box scores, in the mid-week 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.

There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.

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.
