Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost some close games on Friday and Saturday on the road against Godley and Bridgeport.
The Indians fell to the Wildcats while also losing a close game to the Bulls 51-50 with a last second shot.
Coach Colby Schniederjan thought his team played better than its first game against the tough Burkburnett team.
Against Bridgeport, the team came all the way back from 21 points down in the second half to take the lead.
“I just found a mesh of some players I hadn’t seen yet,” Schniederjan said. “Early on we have to find some of that chemistry we haven’t had the ability to find because we didn’t play at all this summer.”
It was a back and forth fourth quarter as Nocona had the lead late in the game. The Bulls were able to make a 3-pointer with little time left to go up 51-50. The full court heave from the Indians was off target at the buzzer.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Bulldogs barely lost their game on Friday against Bryson.
The Cowboys won by the smallest of margins 39-38 in a game that was rescheduled.
“This was a really fun defensive battle the whole way,” Coach Seth Stephens said. “We were behind most of the game due to some offensive struggles. We were trailing 32-24 heading into the fourth quarter.”
The Bulldogs came back strong and made a game of it, but unfortunately some mental mistakes in the last few possessions led to the close loss.
Stephens hopes his team can learn from a tough loss like this.
Prairie Valley’s next scheduled game is at 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 with a rematch at Bryson.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
