Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians finished their season with disappointing losses to Alvord on Saturday and then against Lindsay on Monday in a three-team play-in scenario.
Nocona lost both games by the score 11-6 though the team showed some good things in both.
Against the Lady Bulldogs on Saturday, Nocona fell behind 9-1 after four innings.
The Lady Indians then had a good fifth inning, scoring four runs to cut the lead to 9-5.
Unfortunately it did not spark a late game turnaround. Alvord scored two runs in the sixth inning and Nocona scored one in the final inning to make the final 11-6.
Evelyn Marquez led the team with three RBIs. Tobie Cable had a team leading three hits and was second with two RBIs while hitting a home run and a double. Avery Crutsinger drove in the other run.
It was not enough firepower to keep up with the 19 hits the Lady Bulldogs got in the game despite Nocona only committing one fielding error.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers lost another tough game to Lindsay on Saturday to end their regular season.
The 2A Lady Knights won 23-6 after five innings against the young the Lady Panthers.
Saint Jo scored three runs the first inning with Taylor Patrick driving in two with a double and Kayden Skidmore driving her in with a fielder’s choice groundout.
In the third inning, Skidmore successfully laid down a bunt for a single that drove in one more run. In the fifth inning, Kailynn Faber hit a groundball and an error allowed two more runs to score.
Unfortunately, Lindsay was scoring runs during all of those times as well in much bigger volume as Saint Jo did not have a good day fielding the ball with 10 errors while allowing 15 hits.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
