Bowie girls compete at state meet

Published

on

The Bowie girls powerlifting team had seven compete at the state meet in Corpus Christi on Thursday.
While none came away with an individual medal that scored the team points, it was a big accomplishment for so many to qualify in the first place.
Of the seven girls, only one had qualified and competed at the state meet in the past.
Kerstin Wolfe had qualified the previous two years. The first time saw the meet indefinitely cancelled the literal day before due to COVID-19.
Last year’s meet ended for her in the first event when a controversial re-racking in the squat rack led to her being disqualified.
In her last meet, the senior was finally able to both compete against the best in the state and finish her lifts.
Wolfe’s 900 pound total was the highest of any Lady Rabbit lifter at the state meet. This allowed her to finish ninth in the 181 pound weight class.
Traycee Stewart and Kinley Russell had the highest finishes in their weight classes with both finishing in eighth place. Russell lifted 705 pounds in the 132 class while Stewart lifted 475 pounds in the 97 class.
Katie Boyles finished 10th in the 198 pound class, lifting 800 pounds total. Laisha Johnson tied for 11th place in the 114 class as she lifted 645 total pounds.
Ashley Aguirre finished 11th in the 165 pound weight class as she lifted 780 pounds. Jordan Vaught finished 13th in the 220 class while lifting 690 pounds.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
