Nocona softball beats Saint Jo to extend win streak
The Nocona Lady Indians hosted Saint Jo on March 11 as both teams get ready to kick off district play this week.
The Lady Indians played the bigger school heel and beat the Lady Panthers 16-1 in three innings due to run-rule.
Nocona was coming into the game on an eight game win-streak and was feeling confident playing the smaller school in the county.
The Lady Panthers showed in the first inning they were hoping to surprise the Lady Indians and compete with them.
After being hit by a pitch earlier in the top of the first inning, Saint Jo hitters drew three straight walks, with the last two being full counts.
Jordyn O’Neal came in to score as the Lady Panthers led 1-0.
That would be the highlight for Saint Jo in the game.
Nocona answered with its bats, scoring five runs to take the lead 5-1 after getting a double, three singles and drawing four walks while taking advantage of two fielding errors from the Lady Panthers.
After the Lady Indians did not allow a base runner in the top of the second inning, Nocona was back to do more damage with its bats.
The Lady Indians scored four runs on two singles, three walks and one fielding error as Nocona’s lead extended to 9-1.
Saint Jo tried to get something going in the third inning with Reagan Wilson getting on base with a single with two outs, but it did not go anywhere.
Nocona then angled to end the game early as the team scored seven runs in the inning thanks to three singles, one double, two free bases and two fielding errors.
The Lady Indians won 16-1 after two and half innings due to run-rule.
Nocona was led by Skye Kirby and Kylea Wallace who both had three RBIs.
Evelyn Marquez, Tinley Cable and Ma’leaigha Franklin added two RBIs each while Heidi Atteberry had a team high three hits. As a team, the Lady Indians had 11 hits and drew eight walks.
On the mound, Reagan Phipps allowed one run on hit while striking out four batters and walking three. The team committed one fielding error.

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.
