Nocona
The Nocona Indians finished up their non-district schedule with a win against Valley View on Friday to remain undefeated.
The Indians dominated, winning 64-28 with the majority of the damage done in the first half.
Nocona came into the game knowing the Eagles were looking to pass the ball around, which would be a challenge for the defense since not many teams play like that.
Still, the Indians’ offense took the pressure off by scoring early and often, mostly leaning on their offensive line since almost every runner had success throughout the game. The few times they did throw, it went for big gains to complement the running game.
Nocona was up 50-14 at halftime.
The second half saw some second team players get some rotation in as the brakes were hit. Still, the Indians still played an even half against Valley View, both scoring 14 points as Nocona finished out the game with little drama.
The Indians won 64-28.
Johnny Stone led the team with 146 yards rushing while scoring one touchdown. Brady McCasland was second with 102 yards rushing and scored two rushing touchdowns.
Brody Langford, Ethan Blair and Joes Gomez also rushed for one touchdown each as the team finished 413 yards rushing.
McCasland only attempted 10 passes all game, but he completed seven for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Charlie Fuller reeled in two catches for 30 yards and one touchdown while Caden Gaston caught one pass for a 43-yard touchdown.
Gaston also intercepted a pass on defense and returned it 88 yards for a touchdown. Stone forced and recovered a fumble on defense as well giving Nocona two takeaways. Oscar Salomon, Cooper Waldrip and Stone each finished with double-digit tackles.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns won their first game of the season on Friday playing Texoma Christian.
The Longhorns won 39-0 against the Eagles, shutting them down completely on defense.
Forestburg was coming off a tough loss against Saint Jo in which the team played better than in years past, but it did not show up much on the scoreboard.
Still, the Longhorns put it all together on Friday against Texoma Christian.
The team switched its tendency offensively, getting out of its usual bunch formation and into a spread set that seemed to work better, especially in the second half.
Jesus Sanchez led the team, completing nine passes for 207 yards and four touchdowns. Nathan Payne caught four passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns while Will Johnson caught two passes for 49 yards both for touchdowns.
On the ground, Jeremiah Perez led the team with 136 yards rushing while Tye Reid ran for 55 yards.
