Conventional wisdom suggested that Tuesday’s District 3A-9 match between the Nocona and Bowie High School volleyball teams would be quite competitive.
However, injury-depleted Bowie didn’t have enough depth and Nocona rolled to a sweep of the Lady Rabbits by scores of 25-20, 25-16, 25-21.
Nocona improved to 16-11, 3-1 in 3A-9 heading into today’s home match versus Paradise. Bowie travels to Holliday with a record of 17-12, 2-2 in the district.
Lady Indians coach Tiffany Clay told her charges they needed to play with more urgency after a district-opening loss to Holliday.
“Our district is pretty evenly matched, so the difference between the teams sitting at home in the bi-district (playoffs) and the teams that advance will be those who are mentally tough and show up to compete at each game,” the coach commented.
Clay said the girls have increased their expectations, including what they want from this season.
“Bowie made some errors which allowed the momentum to stay on our side most of the game,” Clay added.
Nocona had very few hitting errors and the team produced a .260 attack percentage, and the Lady Rabbit defense had trouble with the Lady Indians.
“We had some errors at the net,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “With those unforced errors, we went away from our game plan and our system. We never seemed to regain it until the final part of third set.” Read more, and see complete statistics, in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
