Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers picked up a big win against 2A Alvord at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Panthers beat the Lady Bulldogs in straight sets in a match that could have gone either way in the first two sets.
Saint Jo used to play Alvord twice a year during district play along with several other district opponents. Despite the good playoff teams the Lady Panthers have had in recent years, Saint Jo mostly struggled to compete against those teams let alone beat them.
The first set saw the Lady Panthers take control midway through, but missed serves allowed Alvord to come back and tie the score at 25-25. With the set up for either team that could stretch two points together, the Lady Panthers pulled off the win 28-26.
The second set saw Saint Jo fall behind midway through 17-13 before clawing its way back to tie the score up at 25-25 again. The Lady Panthers kept that momentum going to win in extra points 27-25 to take a 2-0 lead.
Despite there being a setup for a third set let down, it instead came from the Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Panthers dominated set three, taking a lead early on 11-4 and never letting up except on the final point as Alvord scored seven straight to cut the lead to 25-18. Saint Jo won 3-0.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost an up and down five-set match at Krum on Tuesday.
The Lady Cats won a match that varied wildly set-to-set as none were terribly close.
Krum came out to win set one 25-17, but the Lady Indians tied things up by winning set two 25-19. Nocona then played its worst stretch of the night as set three was one-sided 25-11 to the Lady Cats.
The Lady Indians recovered and convincingly won set four 25-16 to force a fifth and final set. Unfortunately, the pattern of the match continued and Krum won the final set 15-9 to come out the victor.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs lost a tough four-set match at home on Tuesday against Chico.
The Lady Dragons won 3-1 despite the Lady Bulldogs starting out the match looking great.
The first set went Prairie Valley’s way, winning comfortably 25-15 and looking to beat a 2A program.
Unfortunately, the Lady Bulldogs played a down in the second set, losing 25-13 and letting Chico tie the match at 1-1.
The third set proved to be the most competitive, but unfortunately Prairie Valley came up just short losing 25-21. The Lady Bulldogs could not rally in the fourth set, losing 25-10 as the Lady Dragons sealed up the win.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns lost a tough match to Perrin-Whitt on Tuesday.
The Lady Pirates won in straight sets against the Lady Horns with scores being 25-17, 25-14 and 25-11.
Rachel Allen led Forestburg with six aces in the match.
The Lady Horns are next scheduled to play at 5 p.m. on Sept. 20 at home against Sacred Heart.

Crutsinger resigns from Nocona

Published

on

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.
