Nocona baseball and softball had to reschedule their games against Jacksboro to Monday due to rain in the area Friday evening.
However, the Indians and Lady Indians were not fazed as both teams made short work of their opponent.
Despite entering the bottom of the first inning down a run, Lady Indian softball entered the second inning with a 6-1 lead. Lexi Reed smacked a key two-run double during the frame, scoring Sherese Price and Lexi Towery (a courtesy runner for Madilynn Cable).
A seven-run performance in the third carried the team to a 16-2 win in five innings. Kady Hackley powered a two-run triple during this frame, highlighting the Lady Indian offense.
Makayla Sandoval and Katelynn Walker were both 2-for-3 with three runs scored in the Nocona victory.
Madilynn Cable had a big game at both the plate and the mound.
Cable was 4-4 batting with two doubles, a triple and six runs batted in.
She also earned the win on the mound for Nocona, pitching a full and efficient game, needing only 80 pitches. Cable allowed two runs on five hits, walking three and striking out six.
Like Cable, Jaxon Phipps was strong on the mound and at the plate, leading Nocona to a 9-0 win over Jacksboro. Read more, and see box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
