By the time the Bellevue High School boys’ basketball team plays today, the Eagles won’t have played a game since Dec. 16.
That’s when the Eagles lost on the road to Jacksboro 74-46.
Bellevue (5-9) takes on a Nocona team smarting from a district-opening loss to Bowie 68-50 at 9:30 a.m. in the Windthorst varsity tournament.
Nocona stands at 9-6 coming into the game.
That’s just the start of the Windthorst Tournament for both the Indians and Eagles.
Nocona will play Munday at 2 p.m. today followed by a game versus Alvord at 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 29 and a game with Electra at 6:30 p.m. on the same day.
Electra is ranked in the top-25 of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll.
The Eagles take on City View at 2 p.m. today.
Bellevue follows that by playing Henrietta at 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 29, and then tournament host Windthorst at 5 p.m.
So both Nocona and Bellevue will play four games at the event.
Bowie, Nocona girls
Last week, the Bowie and Nocona girls’ basketball teams played each other in District 3A-8 action. The Lady Rabbits and Lady Indians go their separate ways this week.
Bowie already started play in the Fidelity Communications Classic at Hallsville on Tuesday with games against Mount Pleasant and Palestine.
The Lady Rabbits play Greenville at 9 a.m. and then Spring Hill at 3 p.m. today. Bowie then plays Daingerfield at noon on Dec. 29 to wrap up the round-robin event.
Nocona travels to Gainesville for the North Central Texas College Holliday Classic, with the Lady Indians’ first game at 1:30 p.m. today versus Valley View. Read more in the Dec. 28 Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
To see the times for the winners of each event in all four age categories along with pictures of all of the top cowboys and cowgirls, pick up a copy of the weekend edition of the Bowie News.
