Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost to Lindsay on Friday night.
The Lady Knights won 12-1, with the game ending after six innings due to run-rule.
The Lady Indians were coming off two run-rule wins themselves earlier in the week in their double-header against Era and was on a four game winning streaks.
Unfortunately, that streak ended as Nocona bats just could not keep up with Lindsay’s constant stream of runs in almost every inning.
The Lady Knights got on the board first inning, but the Lady Indians answered in the top of the second inning. Abby Hill led off with a single. She would second base before a teammate grounded out to the shortstop.
After making the routine throw to first base for an out, Lindsay tried to then throw it to third base to prevent Hill from advancing. The throw resulted in a fielding error which allowed Hill to come in and score to tie the game up at 1-1.
Nocona then had its only scoreless inning of the game to cap off the second inning, not allowing even a single base runner on as it looked like the game was going to be competitive and the Lady Indians had a bit of momentum.
Nocona even had a leadoff walk and got Lindsay to commit a fielding error on a pop up to get two runners on base with one out.
Unfortunately, the Lady Indians could not get either runner home and Lindsay was in control from there.
The Lady Knights scored two runs in the third inning, one in the fourth, three in the fifth inning before scoring five runs in the sixth inning to end the game due to run-rule on a three RBI double.
Lindsay won 12-1.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.
Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
