Nocona overcame a fourth-quarter deficit to defeat City View 36-28 in District 5-3A-II action on Friday at Veterans Field.
Fletcher Six and Charles Evans teamed on a safety in the end zone to help the Indians close with 10 points of City View, 24-14.
Nocona had missed out on a possible touchdown the play before as the Indians were stopped on fourth-and-goal inside the City View 1-yard line.
“We didn’t score the touchdown, but the safety helped us,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said. “We were able to get the ball back and we scored a touchdown and the two-point conversion. It was a 10-point swing for us in a few, quick minutes.”
Nocona added 22 points in the frame as the script instantly flipped in the Indians’ favor – Jeremy James and Parker Marshall scored on rushing TD to help the team prevail.
Marshall’s second TD provided the game’s final differential.
The Indians improve to 6-2, 2-1 in the district heading into Friday’s Senior Night home finale versus 5-3A-II front-runner Henrietta.
Parker Marshall, Marcus Carter, Tristan Cable, Tyler Hayes and Luis Rico will be honored before the game.
Fittingly at City View, it was Hayes who copped the victory-sealing interception in the final minute.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
