Lady Indians advance to gold in Buckle Up for Lane tourney
The Nocona Lady Indians volleyball teams have changed throughout the year, but one thing that has remained constant is honoring Lane Fenoglio in their annual “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” tournament.
Fenoglio was killed in an auto accident on July 11, 1998, the summer before what would have been her sophomore year at Nocona High School.
The tournament is called “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake” to raise awareness of the importance of wearing a seat belt.
The team once again donned their orange and black uniforms as they competed in the 19th annual event, which kicked off on Thursday, where the Lady Indians earned second place in their pool and advanced to the gold bracket for Saturday.
The Lady Indians opened their first game on Thursday with a 25-10, 25-17 win against Burkburnett, followed by another two-set win against S&S Consolidated by 25-13, 25-16.
For the third game of pool play, Nocona took their only loss of the day to Windthorst by 18-25, 19-25, but came out on top against Paradise 25-14, 25-16 to wrap up Thursday’s action.
On Saturday, the Lady Indians will play at 8 a.m. in the middle school gymnasium against the Holliday Lady Eagles.
If they earn the win, they will play at 11 a.m. in the middle school gym, if they suffer a loss, they will compete at noon at the high school.
Other teams in the bracket include Melissa, Jacksboro, Krum, Henrietta, Callisburg, Peaster, Windthorst and Iowa Park.
The Nocona junior varsity team didn’t fair quite as well against some tough varsity teams, taking losses to Melissa 14-25, 7-25; Henrietta, 18-25, 14-25; Bryson, 12-25, 13-25 and Lindsay, 6-25, 10-25.
The team lands in the bronze bracket and will compete at 8 a.m. in the Nocona First Baptist Church gymnasium.
The team will play against Whitewright. Other teams in the bracket include Archer City, Sanger JV and S&S Consolidated.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
