Looking to get back to the State championship, Nocona’s volleyball team got off to a quick start in its area round matchup with Coleman Nov. 3.

A bit of a letdown in the middle games was rectified in game four, allowing the Lady Indians to post a 3-1 (25-12, 26-24, 22-25,25-13) victory. Nocona Coach Sandy Langford said getting back to its style of game helped.

“We’ve had to overcome a lot this week,” Langford said in reference to the school losing a student in an accident two days prior. “We talked during a timeout about getting back to playing fast which is more our style. Coleman had us playing a slower style of play and they took advantage of it.

The fast style of play benefitted the Lady Indians, who got out to a 4-0 lead in game one courtesy of Paige Davis. Maddyn Bowles added a kill to keep things moving.

When you’re gunning for a playoff spot, playing error free football is paramount.

Or is it?

In a District 4-3A Division I battle for the fourth and final playoff spot, Bowie had made five turnovers in the first nearly three quarters but still managed to lead 21-17 late in the third quarter. The Jackrabbits received a pep talk from their coaches and did not turn the ball over again while receiving some clutch defense down the stretch in a much closer than it looked 42-17 win over the Boyd Yellowjackets.

With the victory, Bowie clinched its first playoff spot in football since 2017. The Jackrabbits, 1-3 in district and 5-5 overall, will travel to Cisco for a 6 p.m. Nov.13 game vs. defending state champion Wall, who is ranked No. 4.
