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.

Jacksboro 6, Nocona 5
Nocona baseball suffered its second straight District 3A-9 loss on Tuesday, by a single run to homestanding Jacksboro.
Kameron Hill put the Indians on the board first as he reached home on a wild pitch. However, after adding another run in the third, the Tigers scored two in the same inning followed by three in the fourth.
Nocona rallied in the fifth as Robert Hawkins and Gavin Johnson on an error brought the game to within two. Hill recorded an RBI hit batsmen in the sixth as the Indians loaded the bases. But, Jacksboro didn’t allow Nocona any more runs after that. Read the weekend Bowie News for more, including complete box scores.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
