The Nocona High School girls’ basketball team wrapped up a successful weekend on Sunday with a 38-33 victory over Ponder.
Overall, the Lady Indians went 4-1 for second place in the Conference 1A-3A Division, outscoring their opponents by five points, at the Texas Basketball Championships in Grapevine.
Bowie also qualified for the tournament; but, the Lady Rabbits decided to forgo the event.
Brock was the lone team to beat Nocona, 52-34, on Friday. The Lady Indians bounced back with three wins on Saturday – topping Keene 37-34, Cisco 40-30 and Muenster 36-31.
It wasn’t a good tournament for the Hornets, who finished 1-4 at the event – with Muenster’s lone win over the Keene by two points.
Nocona should field a competitive team for the 2017-18 season, with District 3A-8 offensive most valuable player Emma Meekins back – along with first-team all-district selection Brooke O’Neal and second-teamer Trystin Fenoglio.
The Lady Indians will be bolstered by a bumper crop of freshman as well with Chloe Daughtry, Laramie Hayes and Averee Kleinhans, the last formerly of Montague. Ashley Womack, Andrew O’Neal and Kambryn Pierce also saw beneficial playing time, and got better, this weekend.
“I am pleased with how the girls have performed all summer, and how they’ve played as a team,” said Nocona head coach Heather Nobile.
Keep in mind, under University Interscholastic League rules, Nobile cannot coach the team. She can only observe and evaluate from the stands. Read more in the June 28 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.
