Bass Club has openings for upcoming season

In mid July the Red River High School Bass Club met to discuss the upcoming 2022-23 school year.
It was not only for the kids who will want to fish in the upcoming tournaments, but also adult boat captains who want sign-up as well.
A team is usually two youths and one boat captain. A team also can be just one youth fishing if the boat captain is a family member. If not, then there must be a boat observer.
People will need an email for the youth/captain/observer, but it can’t be the same one for more than one person, so people will have to make sure each person has an active email they check and can confirm via email and electronically sign their registration.
When registering as a school, the club is “Red River High School Bass Club.” The school is not in the system and to be registered in the club you have to choose the name.
This year the club is in the “West Division” that people also will have to select. There is a $60 fee per youth.
Tournaments for this school year include Possum Kingdom at Oct. 1, Hubbard Creek on Oct. 29, Granbury on Dec. 3, Brownwood on Feb. 18 and Whitney on March 11.
The regional tournament is scheduled for April 15 at Ray Roberts and the state meet at Sam Rayburn on May 20-21.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
