HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS: Holliday sweeps Nocona baseball, softball
Nocona High School baseball rolled to a 5-0 lead early in Tuesday’s District 3A-9 game, scoring at least one run in three of the first four innings.
But then Holliday scored seven runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead, and eventually defeat Nocona 9-5.
Nocona dropped to 6-8 overall, and 2-5 in District 3A-9.
The first half of the schedule rotation is complete, and Nocona played Henrietta at home on Friday.
In the opening frame, Nocona scored twice. Kameron Hill scored on Ryder Nobile’s run-scoring sacrifice fly. Jaxon Phipps later scored on a Tres Howard walk.
Nocona added two more runs in the third inning as Phipps smacked a home run over the fence in left field and Howard’s RBI single scored Jeremy James. Hill plated Nocona’s fifth run in the bottom of the fourth on a passed ball.
Softball
Holliday 17, Nocona 0
Holliday put Nocona away with a whopping eight runs in the top of the fifth inning.
Katelynn Walker was the lone Lady Indian to record a multiple-hit game. Kady Hackley also had a hit for Nocona. Madilynn Cable and Claire Walker drew walks, but that was the sum total of the team’s offense. Read more, and see complete box scores in the weekend 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 2nd 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 8th 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 2nd 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.
