The Bowie High School baseball team remained two games clear of everyone else in District 3A-9 with an 11-0 victory over Nocona on Friday.
Cooper Cantwell pitched a five-inning scoreless game, and Nocona didn’t help themselves any committing six errors.
Bowie improved to 16-1-2, 6-0 in District 3A-9 while Nocona dropped to 6-7, 2-4.
Despite being under .500 in district play, Nocona still has plenty to play for this season.
“We’re not going to give up,” Nocona second-year head coach Brent Lewis said. “The kids have been working hard and putting in the time. Anything can happen.”
There are still eight district games remaining.
Meanwhile, Bowie has become the class of District 3A-9 with its pitching, timely hitting and solid defense.
“I thought we played well,” Bowie baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “We scored four runs in the top of the first, and we were able to settle in. Then, we had the other big inning. We did what we needed to do. It was a good win for us.”
Bowie capped the game by turning what Rogers called “the best double play the team has turned all year.”

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.

Keck qualified in three events there: the 800-meters, the 1,500-meters and the 3,000-meters over a five-day period. Keck opened by running in the 800-meter prelims, which she admits is her least favorite race. She admitted being “fresh and excited” for her first race and showed it by qualifying for the finals with a top 8 overall finish with a time of 2:21.76.

On July 30, she ran in the 1,500 prelims. Keck said she was seeded 12^th out of the 16 competitors but wound up qualifying for the finals with a fourth- place finish in 4:48.38.

“I was just happy over that,” Keck said.”
