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.

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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
