Nocona basketball teams challenged before holiday
Both Nocona basketball teams got some work in this week before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Lady Indians played two games on consecutive days at the Glen Rose Showcase and went 1-1 while the Indians played a low scoring game against Alvord at home on Tuesday they won 34-31.
The Nocona boy’s team played the tough Bulldogs team in its lowest scoring game of the season.
“They were very good at keeping us from doing what we wanted to do offensively,” Coach Colby Schniederjan said. “It was a great challenge for us as we had to adjust on the fly to make things happen.”
The Nocona girl’s team first played the host Glen Rose on Monday. Despite being undersized, the Lady Indians hung with the Lady Tigers all game. Glen Rose led 32-29 at halftime
Nocona had a good defensive third quarter and held a one point lead 42-41 going into the fourth quarter. The Lady Indians could not close out the game in regulation as the teams were tied 54-54, forcing overtime.
Unfortunately, Nocona could not come out on top as the Lady Tigers won 62-59.
The Lady Indians came back the next day and played another bigger 4A school in Midlothian Heritage. The game was a bit of a slower pace as Nocona’s defense held the Lady Jaguars to under 10 points in the first two quarters. The Lady Indians led at halftime, but only 23-17.
Nocona’s defense picked up even more in the third quarter, allowing only two points to Midlothian Heritage. The Lady Indians pulled away to a 35-19 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Jaguars found their stroke in the final quarter, doubling its score. Nocona almost kept pace to keep its big lead safe. The Lady Indians won 52-38.
Both Nocona teams will travel to play one of the best 1A program’s in the state, Lipan, on Dec. 3. The Lady Indians will play at 6:30 p.m. and the Indians at 7 p.m.

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.
