Every week, a different receiver steps up for the Nocona High School football team.
This time around, it was Tristan Cable as he caught four passes for 72 yards – but most importantly scored two touchdowns as Nocona downed Jacksboro 21-12.
It marked the second straight season the Indians defeated the Tigers at Jack Crain Stadium, and Nocona improved to 5-2 overall, 1-1 in District 5-3A-II.
Now the Indians prepare for a City View team that features the fleet afoot Tyrese Smith, who coach Brad Keck calls perhaps “the fastest kid in the district.”
That’s just one of the games on the schedule this week – which also features a pair of six-man contests as Gold-Burg faces District 12-1A-I frontrunner Newcastle and Saint Jo plays at Bryson.
Last week, Nocona had to adjust on the fly defensively as Jacksboro didn’t run its offense like the Tigers typically do.
City View, conventionally, runs a shotgun spread on offense and a 3-4 defense. The Mustangs have Smith and quarterback Tamell Monroe.
“They have some big outside linebackers,” Keck said. “Both are good (Danny Ho and Gerald Palmer). They are athletic and they like to show man coverage.” Read more in the Oct. 19 Bowie News.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.

Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.

Imotichey, in her 2^nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
