Lady Indians play second tournament at Henrietta
The Nocona Lady Indians softball team competed at its second tournament last weekend at Henrietta.
While the team competed well at the first tournament at Jacksboro the following week, the competition was fiercer at Henrietta as the Lady Indians went 1-4.
Nocona first faced off against Archer City. It was not a good start for the Lady Indians as they struggled to hit or get on base against the Lady Tigers pitcher.
On the flip side, Archer City scored 14 of their 15 total runs in two innings as they won 15-0 after three innings.
Things could only be better for Nocona and they bounced back in a big way.
Playing Seymour and down 9-5 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Lady Indians rallied to score eight runs in the inning to go up 13-9.
They were able to shut out the Lady Panthers in the next inning to get the win. Laramie Hayes and Gisel Hernandez each drove in two runs to lead Nocona.
The Lady Indians started off Friday playing Iowa Park. While the Lady Hawks scored more than half of their runs in the fourth inning, Nocona struggled to get anyone on base in any way. Iowa Park won 13-0 after four innings.
The Lady Indians second game of the day was against Windthorst. The Lady Trojans scored 10 runs in the first two innings.
Nocona was able to score three runs in the top of the third inning, but Windthorst was able to tack on another seven runs to end the game early as they won 17-3.
The Lady Indians final game of the tournament was against Henrietta’s JV team on Saturday. Nocona was up 5-3 after three innings, but the Lady Bearcats scored 13 runs combined in the fifth and sixth innings to end the game early, winning 17-7.

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.
