Area athletes play in Oil Bowl all star games

Published

on

The Maskat Shrine Oil Bowl All Star weekend started off Friday night with basketball games before hosting the organization’s first volleyball games on Saturday, all at Rider High School.
The boy’s basketball game had four players from Montague County playing on the east team.
From Bowie it was Daniel Mosley and Justin Franklin, from Nocona Rowdy Waters and from Gold-Burg Tanner Parrish.
Mosley got the start in the post and was matched up with the big post from Rider Ben Moffat. Mosley took advantage of the all star game looseness as he spot up on the perimeter and looked to make the spectacular play whenever possible since most guards where looking for their own shots instead of trying to find him in the post. He finished with five points.
The same could be said for Waters and Parrish. Waters looked to fit in and make the right play as he relished doing some of the dirty work.
Parrish ran the floor well and attacked the basket as he ended with six points and showed he could compete against big school competition.
Franklin came off the bench and was hot early from the three-point stripe, making four in the game and finishing with a team high 14 points while also relishing the chance to throw no-look passes.
Despite the east leading 31-23 at halftime, the west came back and barely pulled off the win 57-56 as the final shot from the east missed its mark. Still, all four had fun playing their final high school game.
While Waters and Mosley have both signed to play basketball at the next level, Mosley at Midwestern State University of Texas and Waters at Cedar Valley College, Parrish is thinking about trying to walk on at MSU while Franklin has put his basketball days behind him as he heads to Blinn College in the fall.
Before that game was the girl’s basketball game. Bellevue’s FreeDom Morris got the start at post for the west team. The versatile player scored nine points as her team made a valiant comeback in the second half after being down double digits at halftime. The east pulled away at the end with free throws to win 60-49.
On Saturday afternoon, the first ever Oil Bowl volleyball all star games were presented.
With two games made up of small town players and large town players, Montague County was represented in each game.
In the small town game, Gold-Burg’s DeAnna Molinaro played for the west team. Despite the team losing in straight sets, Molinaro did play a big role in giving her team the lead in the second set with a series of good serves that swung momentum.
In the big school game, Bowie’s Abby Zamzow played on the east team. She showed her versatility as she did not come out the entire first set as she played in the front or back row well. Unfortunately, the fire power from the west team was too much as they won in straight sets.
With Zamzow set to run track at Angelo State University, it was Zamzow’s last taste of not just high school, but competitive volleyball for her.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
