HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Conditioning is a factor in scrimmages

Well, the Nocona High School football team was certainly involved with plenty of snaps during Saturday’s scrimmage at Windthorst.
“We had 160 plays overall,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said. “That’s way too many for a first scrimmage. That’s a game and a half of plays, and we were really tired by the end of it.”
Keck said this is the best Windthorst team he’s ever seen.
The Trojans scored six times while the Indians didn’t score once.
Even with the results, Keck was optimistic with the regard to the Indians’ performance.
“In the first 10 minutes of offense and defense we did pretty well,” he said. “We did some good things.”
Keck said the Indians’ mistakes are correctible – such as missed blocking assignments, especially from skill position players.
It’s a matter of repetition at this point, and the Indians will see how they fare in yet another scrimmage on Aug. 20 at Olney.
Saint Jo played host to a scrimmage at home. Segments were timed, with first segments for offense and defense running 15 minutes long.
“It was definitely a learning experience, especially with a large number of freshmen,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said.
Tallon was pleased with the Panthers’ effort, and that’s important since Saint Jo is transitioning from a tight to spread offense to take advantage of new team speed.
Tallon said the offensive line needs work on blocking while the defense needs to play more “physical.” Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
