Former Nocona High School volleyball player Sherese Price heads a list of eight girls who will play for North Central Texas College this fall.
Price was a first-team all-district selection for the Lady Indians the past two years, and she has playing experience with the Clay County Volleyball Association.
Price recorded Nocona’s top attack percentage this past year at .232 and she had a team-best 407 kills. She played all around and excelled in other areas, including 224 digs and 17 solo ace blocks, helping the Indians to a 24-15 record.
Kamryn Weaver, a 5-foot-11 outside hitter from Henrietta, was an all-state Texas Girls Coaches Association player this past year.
Like Price, Weaver played for the Clay County Volleyball Association and was first-team all-district 3A-9.
Kaleigh Conger joins the Lady Lions from Stephenville, where she was an outside hitter. Conger was honored by the TGCA, and guided the Cowgirls to the regional tournament twice. Read more in the June 8 Bowie News.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
