Nocona blows out Seymour
In Nocona softball’s home opening game, the Lady Indians run ruled Seymour in five innings on Tuesday.
Nocona won 15-5 after a fifth inning rally pushed them over the top to end the game early.
Early on the Panthers struck first. Two hits, a hit batter and a passed ball allowed Seymour to put two runs on the board in the first inning to go up 2-0. Besides a one out single, the Lady Indians could not respond.
A leadoff base runner for the Panthers thanks to a fielding error looked like Seymour was on their way to adding to their lead. Fortunately, Nocona was able to force three straight groundouts.
A leadoff double from Kycelynn Contreras paid off two batters later as Laney Yates drove her in with a double to cut the lead to 2-1 heading to the third inning.
The Lady Panthers got a runner in scoring position with a one out double in the top of the third inning. Pitcher Laci Stone was able to strike out the next batter and then they were able to catch the base runner trying to steal third base for the third out.
Nocona took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Gisel Hernandez led off the inning with a triple. Next batter Stone then hit a home run to left field to give the Lady Indians a 3-2 lead. Contreras tripled to center field with two outs, but Nocona could not capitalize as the game headed to the fourth inning.
A one out single from the Lady Panthers led to nothing while the Lady Indians worked to extend their lead in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Two walks and a hit loaded the bases with only one out when Stone again came through with a two RBI single to center field. After the next batter grounded out, Karlee Keck was able to drive in two more RBIs on a line drive to center field to extend Nocona’s lead to 7-2 heading into the fifth inning.
Three consecutive fielding errors from the Lady Indians loaded the bases for Seymour with no outs. Two hits and several ground outs eventually scored all three base runners, but Nocona limited the damage as they still led 7-5.
All of the Lady Indians bats came alive then as they put together an eight run inning that included nine hits and two walks. RBIs came from Yates, Hernandez, Stone, Keck, Contreras and Laramie Hayes. The eight runs made the score 15-5, where the game stopped due to run rule.

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.
