Nocona girls finish first
The Nocona cross country teams traveled to Brock on Wednesday to compete in one more meet before district next week.
The girl’s team brought home some hardware by finishing first as a team with three of their runners finishing in the top 10 and their top five runners all finishing in the top 20.
Maria Hernandez finished first for the Lady Indians in third place with a time of 13:40. Raylee Sparkman finished not far behind in sixth place and Kylie Rose was only one place behind her in seventh.
Claudia Espinoza finished in 15th place and Madilyn Ferguson finished 17th to round out the top five runners that went towards the team total. Cobi Womack also finished 36th and Naomi Enriquez 46th.
With their recent string of good team finishes and fast times, Nocona hopes to have a shot finishing among the top at the district meet next week. Coach Kyle Spitzer knows his girls will step up.
“The girls know where they need to be come Thursday’s race,” Spitzer said. “They’ll be ready.”
The boys team finished sixth as a team, with John Womack finishing first for the Indians in 31st out of 55 runners with a time of 21:49.
Hank Ulbig finished not far behind in 34th place, Rowdy Waters in 38th place, Lyndon Fenoglio in 39th, Adam Meekins in 42nd, Tyler Richards in 43rd and Adan Delao in 44th.
Coach Colby Schniederjan likes how all his runners have continued to push their times lower throughout the season and hopes that will happen at the district meet.
“We ran tough at Brock,” Schniederjan said. “It was a soft course, but we persevered. We have talked about running our best races as individuals the past few weeks. We have done that. We have a great opportunity to compete for a regional berth, as a team, at the district meet next week.”
The district meet will be on Oct. 11 at Holliday High School.

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.
