Lady Indians lose to Jacksboro
The Nocona softball team lost to Jacksboro on Friday in a game the Lady Indians just could not catch a break in.
The Lady Tigers won 12-1 in five innings, scoring two or more runs in all but one inning as their lead constantly grew throughout the game.
Nocona got out to a lead in the first inning. Jenna McBride led off with a double.
A ground out followed to advance her to third base where Laci Stone drove her in grounding out to the short stop to give the Lady Indians a 1-0 lead.
A single and a hit batter put two base runners on for Jacksboro.
A passed ball allowed one run to score. A single into left field allowed the other base runner to score to make it 2-1.
In the second inning the Lady Indians failed to get anyone on base.
The Lady Tigers were able to load the bases where a triple cleared them all. A single followed to make the score 6-1.
Despite Jacksboro loading the bases again, Stone was able to get a strike out for out three to end the suffering.
Paige James led off the third inning with a single for Nocona. That was the highlight as a groundout and two strike outs followed.
Four hits and a fielding error allowed the Lady Tigers to score four more runs to up their lead to 10-1.
Stone and Kamryn Weaver led off with back-to-back singles for the Lady Indians to open the fourth inning. Unfortunately, Nocona could not follow up to get them home.
Jacksboro’s leadoff batter was able to get on base thanks to a fielding error. The Lady Indians defense was able to get that one back with a double play though.
A single and a walk followed, but Sydnee Mowery was able to strike out the next batter for out three. Mowery hit a single in the fifth inning to try and spark a two out rally, but it did not light.
Jacksboro needed to score one run to end the game due to run rule. After loading the bases with three walks, a double drove in the game ending run as the Lady Tigers won 12-1.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.
Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
