Published

on

Both Saint Jo cross country teams won district titles on Monday at Henrietta Midway.

This week all of the area schools competed at its district cross country meets.
Bowie ran at its 3A meet in Burkburnett on Monday, Nocona ran at its 2A meet in Seymour on Wednesday and the 1A schools ran at Henrietta Midway on Monday.
The Jackrabbit boy’s team finished second overall to champs Holliday. Isaac Renteria was Bowie’s top runner, finishing third overall with a time of 17:33. Brayden Willett finished one spot behind him in fourth place and was 11 second back. The two broke up the six runner Holliday sweep in the top eight.
The Jackrabbits top five runners also included Russell Anderson (12th), Monte Mayfield (13th) and Hayden Sutton (17th). The team qualified for the regional meet.
Unfortunately for Bowie, the Lady Rabbits finished just one spot outside of qualifying for regionals in fifth place. The team’s top runner was Ollie Gaston who finished 13th with a time of 13:19. Bowie’s top five runners were Laney Segura (17th), Bella Lozano (19th), Harlei Hudson (32nd) and Isabella Caswell (34th). While it was disappointing, it was the first team the Lady Rabbits had fielded in three years.
For Nocona, the girl’s team had only one runner compete, but she made it count. Bayler Smith finished first overall with a time of 13:20.
The Nocona boy’s team finished second overall after first place Windthorst. The Indians were led by Andrew Perez who finished sixth overall with a time of 19:19. Freddy Duran finished right behind him in seventh place and Corbyn Patton finished 10th overall. The final two runners for Nocona, Brady Cunningham and Anthony Burrows, finished 24th and 27th to round out the team.
All of Nocona’s varsity runners qualified for the regional meet.
Running at the 1A meet at Henrietta Midway, it was both Saint Jo teams that dominated with first place titles while Bellevue finished second.
The Saint Jo girls were led by Savannah Hill who got second overall with a time of 13:42. All of the Lady Panthers finished in the top eight as Taylor Patrick (third), Abigail Carter (fourth), Kaycee Clark (sixth) and Jordyn O’Neal (seventh) finished not far behind. Sixth runner Mercedes Diaz did not count since only a team’s top five runners are totaled, but she finished in eighth place.
The Saint Jo boy’s team was nearly as dominant as its top five runners finished in the top nine. Barrett Johnson earned first place overall with a time of 18:43, beating teammate Jayden Curry who got second place. Elijah Young and Julian Luna finished fifth and sixth while Ayden Giambruna earned ninth place.
The Bellevue Lady Eagles were led by Maddie Broussard who earned first place overall with a time of 13:07. Bellevue’s top five runners included Kaycee Conner (ninth), Brittany Gill (11th), Tristan Shook (12th) and Brooklyn Shook (13th).
The Bellevue boy’s team was led by River Trail who finished third overall with a time of 19:10. The Eagles top five runners also included Evan Chavez (14th), Ryan Jones (15th), Brycen Bancroft (21st) and Cowyn Langford (24th).
Several area schools were not able to field full teams, but had individuals finish in the top 10 which qualified them for the regional meet.
In the girl’s race Linzie Priddy from Prairie Valley finished fifth overall with a time of 14:30 to qualify for regionals.
In the boy’s race, Josh Stout from Prairie Valley finished fourth overall with a time of 19:20. Jesse Wadsworth from Forestburg earned seventh place with a time of 20:54.
Not every runner and school qualified for district.
Gold-Burg fielded a boy’s team and finished fourth overall. Efren Villegas was the team’s top runners as he finished 13th overall with a time of 23:21. The Bears top five runners were Jorge Montes (19th), Brady Allen (22nd), Mason Marshall (23rd) and Ryan Newman (25th).

Crutsinger resigns from Nocona

Published

on

Nocona Athletic Director/football coach Blake Crutsinger resigned from his position last week after spending four years at the school.

It was announced last week Nocona Athletic director/football coach Blake Crutsinger is resigning from his position at the school after serving four years.
Crutsinger said now is the time for his family to make the move, with his daughter Avery graduating after spending four years at Nocona and with his son Kellar about to enter high school and wanting the same for him at another school.
“With her going off to college, she had a really good four years here and just looking at Keller heading into high school and exploring some opportunities that might be better for him, it is just time,” Crutsinger said.
Crutsinger went 19-22 overall, helping the Indians to two playoff appearances in 2022 and 2023. The team’s best season was 2023, when it went 8-2 and won the district title, the first one in 11 years for the program.

Sieberts earn bronze at state

Last week Montague County had five girls from Bowie and Saint Jo compete at the state tennis tournament, and one team brought back some hardware.
Sisters from Bowie, junior Heidi and freshman Willow Siebert brought back a bronze medal competing in the 3A girl’s doubles bracket.
The pair were the first people from the program to make it back to state since their half sisters, Meagan and Myah Russell, advanced nine years previously.
The Sieberts came into state as a two-seed, having finished second at the regional tournament the previous week.
The duo was ready as they blew through their first two matches. They beat a team from Hondo in the first round with the scores being 6-1, 6-1 and dominated even more in the second round against a team from Tatum, winning 6-0, 6-1.
That got them through to the second day of the tournament, but Coach Dayna Boothe was worried they had had it too easy on day one.
Playing in the semifinals, the Lady Rabbits faced a familiar foe, a team from Peaster they had beaten in the regional tournament the previous week. Unfortunately, near the end of the first set, with the Sieberts fighting to stay alive, Heidi went after a high lob and slammed into the fence. She hurt her right arm and had to play through it for the rest of the match.
They lost the match with the scores being 6-3, 6-3.
It was an all Peaster final, with the other side of the bracket producing the team that both beat the Sieberts at the regional tournament and won their second straight state title.
Still, despite the disappointment, Bowie is bringing back a bronze medal. According to Boothe, after contacting people who would know dating back to the late 1970s, it could possibly be the program’s first medals from the state tournament in tennis.
Of course, Bowie was not the only school represented. Saint Jo had Taylor Patrick competing in girl’s singles and the team of Bailie Nobile and Maxey Johnson competing in girl’s doubles in the 1A classification.
Senior Patrick was making her third appearance at the state tournament, but her first in the singles competition.
She finished third at the regional meet which meant she had a tough first round matchup against a second seed from Fort Davis.
It took everything from Patrick in a match that lasted two and a half hours. She went down in the first set 6-2, but rebounded in a tight second set to win 6-4 to force a third and final set. She had the momentum and won 6-2 to move on.
She had to summon the energy to play later that day against a fresh one-seed player from Utopia. Patrick lost 6-1, 6-1 to end her Saint Jo career. Her opponent would go on to finish second.
Juniors Johnson and Nobile were making their first appearances at the state meet after finishing second at the regional tournament. In the first round they played a tough match against a team from Marathon. It seemed evenly matched throughout, but small mistakes at inopportune times cost them throughout the match. In the end, the team lost by the scores of 6-3, 6-3.
