The Nocona Indians played their first official games of the season on Saturday at Alvord, picking up close wins against Poolville and Paradise.
The Indians won 3-2 against Poolville and 2-1 against Paradise to start the season on a good note.
Nocona was down 1-0 entering the third inning against the Monarchs. The Indians tied the score at 1-1 as Zyrus Moreno drew a walk with the bases loaded.
Nocona then took the lead in the fourth inning. Landon Fatheree dove in a run on a double. Later Brody Langford scored on a passed ball to make 3-1 in favor of the Indians.
Poolville cut the lead to one run when it scored thanks to a fielding error. However, Nocona got out three and the game ended after four innings played. The Indians won 3-2.
Played afterwards was the game against Paradise. The Panthers led initially 1-0 the first two innings. Nocona tied the game in the third inning with Brody Langford hitting an RBI single.
After a scoreless fourth inning, the Indians started a two-out rally in the fifth inning. Langford hit a single to get on base. He later advanced to second base thanks to an error trying to pick him off. Fatheree then came through with a single to drive him home.
It proved to be the winning run as Nocona won 2-1.

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.
