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.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.

“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.

Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.

Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.

“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
