Nocona
The Nocona Indians baseball team lost at Alvord on Friday after five innings due to run-rule.
The Bulldogs won 10-0 against the Indians to win the week long series against Nocona.
The Indians had lost by a bigger margin in their first game against Alvord 19-1. Nocona was hoping to play better and while the team still lost by double-digits, it did the second time around.
The two teams were tied after a scoreless first inning. The Bulldogs broke open the game in the second by scoring five runs in the second inning.
While Nocona did a better job defensively as the game went along, it still could not keep Alvord off the scoreboard in the final three innings.
The Bulldogs scored two runs in the third inning, one in the fourth inning and two in the fifth inning to end the game.
Alvord won 10-0.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost a heartbreaker at Chico on Friday.
The Dragons came back to score two runs in the final inning to win 6-5.
The Panthers won a close, low-scoring game against Chico earlier in the week 3-2, which was on the heels of a tough, one-sided series against Perrin-Whitt.
Saint Jo got the lead first when Logan Hoover hit an RBI single in the top of the first inning. The Dragons got the lead in the same inning when a two out fielding error in the outfield resulted in two runs scoring to go up 2-1.
After a scoreless second inning, the Panthers got the lead back in the third inning. Charlie Evans hit a two RBI double and then Trent Gaston drove in another run on a single to put Saint Jo up 4-2.
The Panthers added one run to the lead when Sam Martin hit a sacrifice fly ball to make it 5-2 for Saint Jo.
After two scoreless innings in the second and third, it was time for Chico to get some offense going again in response during the same inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, a Dragon player came through with a single that drove in two runs to cut the lead down to one run 5-4.
The score stayed the same as the teams exchanged scoreless fifth and sixth innings as the Panthers tried to hang on to their one run lead.
In the bottom of the seventh, Chico got something going. The Dragons drew back-to-back walks to start the inning. A wild pitch allowed both runners to advance into scoring position. A fly ball to center field was deep enough to allow one run to score and tie the game up at 5-5.
Saint Jo then did an intentional walk to put runners at the scorners. The next batter then hit another fly ball to center field for out two. Unfortunately, it was deep enough to allow the runner on third base to score.
Chico won 6-5.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
