Both players are juniors.
Mackenzie Tole, a junior, was named co-district most valuable blocker along with Huntlee Martindale from Holliday. Martindale is several inches taller than Tole, making Mackenzie’s achievement all the more impressive.

Holliday senior Jaren Parker and Boyd junior Morgan Abbott were the most valuable setters. Holliday junior Kinsey Duncan was named most valuable hitter.

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.
