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.

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.
