Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears lost against 2A Archer City on Tuesday on the road.
The Lady Cats won in straight sets with scores 25-6, 25-8 and 25-4.
It is always tough to compete against, but there were outside reasons for the poor performance.
“We have been displaced once again for practices because they were putting our bleachers in,” Coach Cheryl Cromleigh said. “We were able to practice some at the Bowie Community Center but not every day. We also had our bye and hadn’t played a match since Sept. 28. Archer City is very good, but we were flat due in part to all of the adversity.”

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.
