Nocona
The Nocona Indians had a happy homecoming game with a dominant win against Chico on Friday.
The Indians won 49-13, dominating the game from the first quarter on against the Dragons.
Nocona came into the game undefeated, but was a bit rusty after only playing one drive the previous week against Electra. The home opener was later canceled due to lightning.
The Indians scored three touchdowns in the first quarter, getting the party started with Caden Gaston taking the first of his two interceptions back for a touchdown.
The first offensive drive saw Nocona draw up a flea flicker that allowed Brady McCasland to find Charlie Fuller for a 41-yard touchdown pass. The second drive McCasland would find Carson Peters open for a 30-yard touchdown pass as well.
Nocona was up 21-0 after the first quarter.
The next drive saw Johnny Stone run 38-yards up the middle for a touchdown run to make it 28-7 at halftime.
The Indians big-play offense continued in the second half as Stone scored again from 38 yards away. McCasland then kept the ball and scored on a short run on the next drive.
The final touchdown in the fourth quarter was from Brody Langford as he got loose for a 44-yard touchdown run.
Nocona easily won 49-13.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears did not see the second half for the fourth straight game as they dominated Fannindel.
The Bears won 54-0 at home against the Falcons, with it also being senior night for Gold-Burg.
The Bears were hoping Fannindel would give them their biggest challenge of the season since they had won the first three games of the season by halftime.
Turns out it was another one-sided game where Gold-Burg started rotating in second team players early in the second quarter and trying to work on stuff it was not good at.
The defense scored three times as Isaac Renteria returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown while also recovering a fumble. Eli Freeland recovered the other fumble and returned it for a touchdown while Jayon Grace took another interception back for a score. Ethan Rotruck also recovered a fumble as the defense forced six turnovers.
Levi Hellinger completed three passed with two going for touchdowns. Aidan Foster caught two touchdowns while also running for one on the ground. Jayton Epperson completed one pass for 35 yards and one touchdown. Paul Jones caught two passes for 10 yards and scored one touchdown.
