The Nocona softball team lost its final game at City View to close out the season.
The Lady Mustangs won 10-5 despite the Lady Indians coming on strong in the second half of the game.
City View scored nine runs in the first four innings before Nocona fought back with its bats. Laci Stone drove in Jenna McBride and Maggie Stewart with a double.
Stone would score later in the fifth inning on a steal home to cut the lead to 9-3.
In the sixth inning Paige James fly ball to center field produced an error that allowed
MaKenna Nobile to score. Later in the inning James was able to steal home to cut the lead to 9-5.
City View got one run back in the sixth inning to make the score 10-5 heading into the final inning.
Despite Laney Yates hitting a double, Nocona could not produce the offensive magic of the previous two innings as the next batter struck out for out number three.
Stone’s two RBIs led the team Sydnee Mowery did strike out 10 batters in only four innings.
James came in to pitch the last two and only allowed one unearned run and no hits while walking one batter.
It was a tough district run for this Nocona team.
There were some tough stretches against some of top teams this year, but the Lady Indians did have competitive stretches and games against teams from Henrietta and Bowie.
The small things are keeping the team from winning these games as the program tries to progress forward into a regular district competitor.
Hopefully the tough lessons learned this year can be overcome and used as motivation for next year.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
