Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians started off district play with a dominant showing at Petrolia on Friday night.
The Lady Indians won 77-10 in a game where Nocona was just clearly the better team in every way.
Nocona comes into the start of district as heavy favorites to win its sixth straight district title. The program last lost a district game back in 2019.
The Lady Indians have played some of the best teams in the state during their non-district schedule since they have a state tournament appearance in their long term sights.
So the prospect of playing a Lady Pirates team that is trying to rebound after losing several key starters and their coach from their playoff team last year, it was a bit one-sided before the game even started.
It lived up to that expectation as Nocona jumped out to a 31-3 lead after the first quarter.
While the Lady Indians offense reined it in a bit for the final three quarters, they never let up defensively. Petrolia scored only three points in the next two quarters combined. Nocona then got a little sloppy and allowed four whole points in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Indians won 77-10 in the end.

Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles lost a tough game on the road at Slidell on Friday night.
The Lady Greyhounds won 57-33 against the Lady Eagles in a game Bellevue would like to forget.
The Lady Eagles were hoping to give consistent district champion Slidell a challenge, with competitive losses against the two top teams in district that both beat the Lady Greyhounds in Saint Jo and Forestburg.
Unfortunately it was, according to Coach John McGee, one of the worst games the team has played all year long. The team struggled to score while turning the ball over too much.
Cirstin Allen was making shots for Bellevue, making four 3-pointers while scoring a team high 14 points.

Missing scores
The Forestburg game at Gold-Burg was forfeited as the Lady Bears only had four players available to play. The Lady Horns stay undefeated in district play.
With one of Gold-Burg’s players quitting so she can get a part-time job, Coach Cheryl Cromleigh is hopeful she can find another player so her team can continue its season and not forfeit the remainder of its games.
Saint Jo and Prairie Valley coaches did not get back to the Bowie News with score updates from Friday’s games.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
