Lady Indians magical season ends against Brock 59-47 amid foul issues
The Nocona Lady Indians magical run came to an end Tuesday night at Bridgeport against perennial season ender Brock in a game that looked headed for a much uglier end.
The Lady Indians ended up losing 59-47, but got within one after coming back from double digits all while facing the prospect of how to proceed without leading scorer Averee Kleinhans for most of the game due to foul trouble.
She picked up her third foul midway through the first quarter, where the Lady Eagles had a 4-3 lead. Coach Kyle Spitzer felt like his girls came out a little intimidated in the first quarter because of the name recognition of Brock as they trailed 12-5 heading into the second quarter.
Kleinhans was only in for a brief time in the second quarter before picking up her fourth foul. One more and she would be out of the game so Spitzer was forced to sit her for the rest of the half.
With her off the floor, the Lady Indians point guard Trystin Fenoglio got sent the double teams and ball denying treatment usually reserved for Kleinhans. This prevented Nocona’s offense from really getting anything going despite its defense keeping the game within range. The Lady Eagles were up 23-13 at halftime.
Down 30-16 midway through the third quarter, Kleinhans checked back into the game. This ignited the Lady Indians on their comeback as they finished the quarter on an 11-5 run. Brock led 35-27 heading into the fourth.
That lead went down to 35-34 early in the fourth quarter, but that was as close as Nocona would get. A missed chance to take the lead changed things from there on out as the Lady Eagles extended their lead a bit before Kleinhans fouled out with 4:26 to go.
The Lady Indians still had their chances as Chloe Daughtry and Karlee Brown contributed greatly off the bench scoring the ball to keep them in the game.
Spitzer said two of Brock’s players, Olivia Lewis and Torrye Tyler, surprised him as both had great days scoring, combining for 40 points despite Spitzer not seeing much from them on film.
With Nocona not being able to get much closer than five to seven points away, the Lady Indians just ran out of time. The Lady Eagles made their free throws at the end and Nocona did not have the fire power to respond as their magical season came to an end 59-47.

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.

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.
