Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians were able to start off the second round of district play with a win at home against Breckenridge.
The Lady Indians scored less than they usually do, but were still able to win with little drama against the Lady Bucks 43-27.
The Lady Indians were hoping to have a better performance this time around against Breckenridge. Despite winning the first match-up, Nocona Coach Kyle Spitzer felt his team played into the Lady Bucks pace and style too much which allowed the game to stay close.
It still took time to get used to Breckenridges defense in the first quarter as the Lady Indians scored only nine points. Thankfully, Nocona’s defense made sure the Lady Bucks never got control of the game.
The Lady Indians sped things up in the second and third quarter, scoring 32 points during that time while only allowing 12, to run away with the game.
Nocona was able to withstand scoring only one basket in the fourth quarter as it won 43-27.
Megyn Meekins led the team with 13 points while Karlee Brown joined her in double-figures scoring 11 points.

Bellevue vs Forestburg
The Bellevue Lady Eagles barely held on to win against Forestburg on Tuesday night.
The Lady Eagles won 33-31 as they held off a furios Lady Horn comeback attempt in the fourth quarter.
Bellevue was able to build a little bit of a lead in the second and third quarters, leading 27-18 heading into the final period.
Forestburg almost doubled its offensive output in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 points to come within one basket of the Lady Eagles. Bellevue did just enough to win.
Callie Martin led the Lady Eagles with 12 points while Cirstin Allen joined her in double-figures with 10 points.
For Forestburg, Faith Moore led the team with 18 points and six 3-pointers. Reagan Ladewign scored eight points while leading the team with 10 rebounds.

Prairie Valley vs Saint Jo
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs were able to win a low-scoring war at Saint Jo on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bulldogs won 25-16 against the Lady Panthers in a game both needed to win.
Prairie Valley was led by Karagan Ritchie who scored 11 points, including three at a crucial time that changed the momentum of the game.
Coach Jeannie Carpenter knows the win keeps her team within range of the playoff picture.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears hung with Slidell at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Greyhounds ended up winning 49-38, but the Lady Bears competed better than most teams have in district this season.
With the Slidell program winning the district title for most of the last decade, Gold-Burg competed well.
The Lady Bears trailed only 16-13 after the first quarter and 25-19 at halftime. The Lady Greyhounds lead slowly got bigger as the game went on, but Gold-Burg never let the score get out of hand like it has in the past.
In the end, an 11-point loss to a program that is used to finishing atop the district standings every year pretty easily is a good indication for what this Lady Bears team is capable of.
Kelly Contreras led the team with 14 points while Shadie Whitaker was second with eight points.

Nocona Athletic Director/football coach Blake Crutsinger resigned from his position last week after spending four years at the school.

It was announced last week Nocona Athletic director/football coach Blake Crutsinger is resigning from his position at the school after serving four years.
Crutsinger said now is the time for his family to make the move, with his daughter Avery graduating after spending four years at Nocona and with his son Kellar about to enter high school and wanting the same for him at another school.
“With her going off to college, she had a really good four years here and just looking at Keller heading into high school and exploring some opportunities that might be better for him, it is just time,” Crutsinger said.
Crutsinger went 19-22 overall, helping the Indians to two playoff appearances in 2022 and 2023. The team’s best season was 2023, when it went 8-2 and won the district title, the first one in 11 years for the program.

Sieberts earn bronze at state

Last week Montague County had five girls from Bowie and Saint Jo compete at the state tennis tournament, and one team brought back some hardware.
Sisters from Bowie, junior Heidi and freshman Willow Siebert brought back a bronze medal competing in the 3A girl’s doubles bracket.
The pair were the first people from the program to make it back to state since their half sisters, Meagan and Myah Russell, advanced nine years previously.
The Sieberts came into state as a two-seed, having finished second at the regional tournament the previous week.
The duo was ready as they blew through their first two matches. They beat a team from Hondo in the first round with the scores being 6-1, 6-1 and dominated even more in the second round against a team from Tatum, winning 6-0, 6-1.
That got them through to the second day of the tournament, but Coach Dayna Boothe was worried they had had it too easy on day one.
Playing in the semifinals, the Lady Rabbits faced a familiar foe, a team from Peaster they had beaten in the regional tournament the previous week. Unfortunately, near the end of the first set, with the Sieberts fighting to stay alive, Heidi went after a high lob and slammed into the fence. She hurt her right arm and had to play through it for the rest of the match.
They lost the match with the scores being 6-3, 6-3.
It was an all Peaster final, with the other side of the bracket producing the team that both beat the Sieberts at the regional tournament and won their second straight state title.
Still, despite the disappointment, Bowie is bringing back a bronze medal. According to Boothe, after contacting people who would know dating back to the late 1970s, it could possibly be the program’s first medals from the state tournament in tennis.
Of course, Bowie was not the only school represented. Saint Jo had Taylor Patrick competing in girl’s singles and the team of Bailie Nobile and Maxey Johnson competing in girl’s doubles in the 1A classification.
Senior Patrick was making her third appearance at the state tournament, but her first in the singles competition.
She finished third at the regional meet which meant she had a tough first round matchup against a second seed from Fort Davis.
It took everything from Patrick in a match that lasted two and a half hours. She went down in the first set 6-2, but rebounded in a tight second set to win 6-4 to force a third and final set. She had the momentum and won 6-2 to move on.
She had to summon the energy to play later that day against a fresh one-seed player from Utopia. Patrick lost 6-1, 6-1 to end her Saint Jo career. Her opponent would go on to finish second.
Juniors Johnson and Nobile were making their first appearances at the state meet after finishing second at the regional tournament. In the first round they played a tough match against a team from Marathon. It seemed evenly matched throughout, but small mistakes at inopportune times cost them throughout the match. In the end, the team lost by the scores of 6-3, 6-3.
