HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Buckle Up For Lane week has arrived

Published

Lane Fenoglio was so excited to hear when Sanda Fenoglio became unexpectedly pregnant in 1998.
Sanda had a daughter named, Magye, who today is one of the premier liberos in all of Texas. Magye is a senior this year.
“It’s bittersweet,” said Sanda Fenoglio, Magye’s mother. “We would like everyone to know that we have been overwhelmed at the support we have received through the years.
“Magye never met Lane,” Sanda continued. “But, through this tournament, and her seeing the support and hearing all about her, Magye found out what a fun person and good athlete she was.”
Lane Fenoglio was killed in an auto accident on July 11, 1998, the summer before what would have been her sophomore year at Nocona High School.
The tournament is called “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” because Lane was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident. The event has brought awareness for making sure you are safe and properly belted before venturing out onto the road.
Thirty teams will compete in five pools on Thursday at various gymnasiums around Nocona, including the one inside the Nocona Baptist Church.
Janna Fenoglio, Lane’s mother, marvels at the staying power for the tournament – which is now in its 17th year.
“I think this has been totally awesome,” Janna Fenoglio said. “I am proud of Nocona, and how we all pulled together as needed.”
Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay has both played and coached in the tournament.
“One-hundred percent of the proceeds go back to the graduating seniors every year,” Clay said. “The Fenoglio family has raised more than $200,000 from this tournament.” Read more in the Aug. 31 Bowie News.

Crutsinger resigns from Nocona

Published

on

Nocona Athletic Director/football coach Blake Crutsinger resigned from his position last week after spending four years at the school.

It was announced last week Nocona Athletic director/football coach Blake Crutsinger is resigning from his position at the school after serving four years.
Crutsinger said now is the time for his family to make the move, with his daughter Avery graduating after spending four years at Nocona and with his son Kellar about to enter high school and wanting the same for him at another school.
“With her going off to college, she had a really good four years here and just looking at Keller heading into high school and exploring some opportunities that might be better for him, it is just time,” Crutsinger said.
Crutsinger went 19-22 overall, helping the Indians to two playoff appearances in 2022 and 2023. The team’s best season was 2023, when it went 8-2 and won the district title, the first one in 11 years for the program.

Sieberts earn bronze at state

Last week Montague County had five girls from Bowie and Saint Jo compete at the state tennis tournament, and one team brought back some hardware.
Sisters from Bowie, junior Heidi and freshman Willow Siebert brought back a bronze medal competing in the 3A girl’s doubles bracket.
The pair were the first people from the program to make it back to state since their half sisters, Meagan and Myah Russell, advanced nine years previously.
The Sieberts came into state as a two-seed, having finished second at the regional tournament the previous week.
The duo was ready as they blew through their first two matches. They beat a team from Hondo in the first round with the scores being 6-1, 6-1 and dominated even more in the second round against a team from Tatum, winning 6-0, 6-1.
That got them through to the second day of the tournament, but Coach Dayna Boothe was worried they had had it too easy on day one.
Playing in the semifinals, the Lady Rabbits faced a familiar foe, a team from Peaster they had beaten in the regional tournament the previous week. Unfortunately, near the end of the first set, with the Sieberts fighting to stay alive, Heidi went after a high lob and slammed into the fence. She hurt her right arm and had to play through it for the rest of the match.
They lost the match with the scores being 6-3, 6-3.
It was an all Peaster final, with the other side of the bracket producing the team that both beat the Sieberts at the regional tournament and won their second straight state title.
Still, despite the disappointment, Bowie is bringing back a bronze medal. According to Boothe, after contacting people who would know dating back to the late 1970s, it could possibly be the program’s first medals from the state tournament in tennis.
Of course, Bowie was not the only school represented. Saint Jo had Taylor Patrick competing in girl’s singles and the team of Bailie Nobile and Maxey Johnson competing in girl’s doubles in the 1A classification.
Senior Patrick was making her third appearance at the state tournament, but her first in the singles competition.
She finished third at the regional meet which meant she had a tough first round matchup against a second seed from Fort Davis.
It took everything from Patrick in a match that lasted two and a half hours. She went down in the first set 6-2, but rebounded in a tight second set to win 6-4 to force a third and final set. She had the momentum and won 6-2 to move on.
She had to summon the energy to play later that day against a fresh one-seed player from Utopia. Patrick lost 6-1, 6-1 to end her Saint Jo career. Her opponent would go on to finish second.
Juniors Johnson and Nobile were making their first appearances at the state meet after finishing second at the regional tournament. In the first round they played a tough match against a team from Marathon. It seemed evenly matched throughout, but small mistakes at inopportune times cost them throughout the match. In the end, the team lost by the scores of 6-3, 6-3.
