The most competitive match-up during the Bridgeport Invitational on Saturday took place in the girls’ 165-pound weight class.
Nocona’s Lexi Towery and Carrington Davis from Bowie ended up lifting the same amount of weight – 690 pounds, but the gold went to Towery since her body weight was lower by 6.4 pounds.
Both Towery and Davis recorded 275-pound squats. Davis actually had the edge in the bench press by 10 pounds, 135-125. But, Towery responded with a 290-pound dead lift, while Davis hoisted 280.
Towery helped Nocona earn 11 points at the meet, which was good enough for eighth spot.
Carcyn Robertson’s first-place finish at 132 pounds fueled Bowie to second place overall with 26 points, 11 behind Whitesboro.
Robertson lifted 660 pounds, including a 275-pound dead lift. Madison Metzler earned silver in the same weight class.
Bowie doubled up for success in the 123-pound division as well, and that’s despite state qualifier Kylie Robinson given the weekend off. Sami Deford was third and Sofie Butler took fourth, with Deford putting up 560 pounds for the bronze. Read more in the Jan. 27 edition of The Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

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.
