Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham.

Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
