Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians laid the smack down on the road at Seymour on Tuesday night.
The Lady Indians won 76-35 against the Lady Panthers as they continue to dominate district play.
Nocona came into the game still undefeated and ranked in the top 10 in the state in 2A. Seymour was firmly in third place with a 5-2 district record, the only losses against the top two seeds.
The Lady Indians showed right away how far the gap is between them and the third best team in district as they got up 28-8.
Nocona then took a step back as the defensive press was called off due to sportsmanship, but it took a toll on the team’s urgency and energy. The Lady Panthers actually outscored the Lady Indians 10-9 in the second quarter.
To make up for it, Nocona came out with some extra fire in the third quarter despite still having a firm lead it was not likely to give up. The Lady Indians ended the game scoring more than double what Seymour did in each quarter as they won 76-35.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles won on Tuesday against Slidell in a game with a lot of meaning as well being a big win.
The Lady Eagles won in the finals seconds as Callie Martin scored a basket with four seconds left to give Bellevue the 53-51 win.
Bellevue has a lot of recent history with the Lady Greyhounds, trying to wrestle the their almost decade long chock hold on the district title in the Lady Eagles best years. With Slidell moving up to 2A after this year, it was the last district game between the teams.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs won their first district game of the season with a big win against Midway on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bulldogs won 33-26 against the Lady Falcons as they put it all together from start to finish.
Prairie Valley’s lack of depth has been its main weakness so keeping the score low-scoring was its best bet to get a win.
The Lady Bulldogs started the game off well, going up 15-4 after the first quarter. With energy levels needing to be conserved, the pace had to come down without the defense suffering too much.
Thankfully, Prairie Valley was only outscored by a basket in a low-scoring second quarter 6-4 as the Lady Bulldogs led 19-10 at halftime.
Prairie Valley’s offense continued to suffer in the third quarter, but thankfully its defense was able to preserve the lead. The Lady Falcons outscored the Lady Bulldogs 6-3 to cut the lead to 22-16 heading into the final period.
Prairie Valley’s offense caught on down the home stretch, scoring 11 points, to win with little drama 33-26.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
