The Nocona High School volleyball team swept visiting District 3A-9 foe City View on Tuesday as Jamie Carpenter put down a team-best 13 kills.
Carpenter also had a .360 hitting percentage, supporting Nocona’s .223 overall effort, and she also scooped up eight digs and had six assists.
The Lady Indians won by scores of 25-12, 25-23, 25-12.
“We came out and played aggressive for the most part,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said. “Our goal playing City View was to work on the little things we need to prime.”
Nocona improved to 18-13, 5-3 in 3A-9, taking the third spot in a three-way tie with Bowie and Boyd as all three have identical district records.
Nocona has the head-to-head edge on Bowie and Boyd.
“Our district is so competitive,” Clay said. “Every team is fighting for playoff position. That position is going to go to the team that shows up on the court each game day.”
It’s going to come down to limited unforced errors.
City View gave Nocona all it could handle during the second set, coming back from a 23-14 deficit to make the score 24-23 in favor of Nocona.
Brei Jackson’s ace closed City View’s deficit to one point; however, the Lady Mustangs’ attack error on the next point put the Lady Indians up two games to none.
Nocona rolled to a 17-9 lead in the third game as Mackie Trumbull and Carpenter controlled the net with blocks and kills. Fittingly, a Carpenter free ball gave the Lady Indians the third set and the match victory. Read more, and see the complete roundup from area schools, in the weekend Bowie News.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.

Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
