The Nocona High School softball team earned its first District 3A-9 victory of the season on Tuesday in Jacksboro.
The Lady Indians and the Tigerettes played a close, high-scoring game up until the fifth inning.
The two teams combined for 28 hits, however Nocona’s bats were hotter as they tallied 16 of them en route to a 16-8 win.
“We’ve been working a lot on offense,” said Lady Indian coach Jon Shaw. “They cashed in when they were supposed to.”
RBI singles by Katelynn Walker and Sherese Price opened scoring in the top of the first, however a two- run error in the bottom half tied the game at two runs apiece.

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.
