POWERLIFTING: Bowie features quality, Nocona has more numbers

The Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ powerlifting teams will stress quality over quantity this season.
Meanwhile, the Nocona boys’ powerlifting team has a record number of participants this season with 11.
That’s part and parcel over how the numbers game will play out for both the Rabbits and Indians this season, which begins on Jan. 7 when Bowie plays host to a meet. Here’s a rundown on both Bowie and Nocona.

Bowie
The Bowie girls’ team returns three state qualifiers in Kylie Robinson at 123 pounds, Carcyn Robertson (132) and Carrington Davis (165).
“On the girls’ side, we are looking to qualify everyone for regionals,” said Bowie strength and conditioning coach Monte Sewell. We’re going to have a solid team.”
The team features the addition of transfer student Tatum Posey at 181, plus returning Madison Metzler at 148 and Chloe Turlington (148/165) and Olivia Henry (148/165).
Bowie’s girls’ team will be strong up the middle, and the same could be said for the boys’ team – with a lack of both lightweights and heavyweights.

Nocona

Deziray Graham from Nocona will be helped by the addition of a new weight class for girls this year.
The heavyweight classes were split as follows for 2017: There will be a class from 220-259 pounds, and then the 259-plus pound category.
“Deziray wants to get back to state,” Nocona second-year head coach Jonathan Shaw said. “I don’t think it should be too difficult. If they had done the split last year, Deziray would have finished second in her class.”
Graham will be joined on the girls’ squad by newcomer Diamond Flores (105), Jessica Vogel (148), Lexi Towery (165), Taylor Richards (165) and Raelynn Lemons (165). Read more, and see complete season schedules, in the Jan. 4 Bowie News.

Nocona’s Deziray Graham prepares for a bench press during the 2016 Bowie Invitational. Graham was a state qualifier for the Lady Indians last year, and could be in medal contention this year thanks to the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association splitting the top two heaviest weight classes.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians played only one game last week due high winds later in the week, losing at Petrolia.
The Pirates won 9-0 in a game where not much went right for the Indians.
Petrolia scored five runs in the first inning thanks to three singles and three fielding error. The Pirates added one run in the third inning, two in the fifth and one more in the sixth inning.
Nocona had much trouble with its bats all game, finishing with only one hit and drawing five walks. Petrolia’s defense was stingy, only committing one fielding error, so the Indian offense struggled to say the least.
Landon Fathree got the team’s one hit in the game. The team struck out 10 times while drawing five walks.
Brody Langford got the start on the mound and pitched five innings while giving up eight run (three earned) on six hits while striking out six batters. The defense committed six fielding errors.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers played Electra on last week and lost a close game against the Tigers.
Electra won 7-6 in a game the Panthers knew they should have been able to win.
Saint Jo fell behind early in the game by five runs and spent the rest of it trying to catch back up. In the end, despite the Panthers ending with 12 hits, the team fell one run short.
Trent Gaston had a team high two RBIs. Sam Martin had three hits to lead the team.
