Nocona
The Nocona Indians picked up their first district win of the season on Friday with a win against Callisburg.
The Indians overcame a slow start to win comfortably 33-13. Early on things were not looking good.
The Wildcats scored on their first two drives and led 13-0. Nocona’s plan to run right at the defense was not working. The Indians defense needed to key on some different things. With adjustments made, both sides of the ball turned things around.
On offense, Nocona went to the air as quarterback Carter Horn brushed off an interception as he completed 17 of 23 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown pass. It went to Jason Sparkman, who led the team with nine catches for 118 yards receiving.
The Indians never really got things going well on the ground offensively, but when they were close Horn scored four rushing touchdowns and led the team with 38 yards rushing. The defense did not allow Callisburg to score again as Nocona won by 20 points.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers started district on the road at Savoy on Friday while continuing their undefeated start to the season.
No game has gone to regulation yet for the Panthers and Friday was no different as Saint Jo won 52-2 by halftime.
Outside of a safety by the Cardinals that cut the score to 8-2 in the first quarter, the game was dominated by the Panthers. Most of the damage on offense came on the ground as Brayden Bell led the team with 87 yards rushing while scoring a touchdown.
Logan Brawner led the team with three touchdowns scored, two on the ground and one on a catch. Connor Thompson and Chance Bennett both scored on their only carries of the game. Eli Jones threw his other touchdown pass to Logan Morman.
On defense it was even more dominant. The defense allowed only -14 yards of total offense and one first down. Bennett recovered a fumble on defense as the lone takeaway of the game.
Gold-Burg and Forestburg were off last week.

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.
