Bowie High School’s Trace Hardee sent a charged particle deep into the night as the Jackrabbits topped Montague County rival Nocona 7-2 on Friday.
Despite the loss, it was quite possibly the best the Indians had played all season.
“Nocona did a good job of creating a couple of rallies,” Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “They put some pressure on us with their bunts. They scratched out a couple of runs, and played good defense.”
Jeremy James made a couple of impressive plays for the Indians at shortstop, and Nocona saw the kind of team they are capable of being against the top team in District 3A-9.
“We didn’t make any huge mistakes,” said Nocona head coach Brent Lewis. “We were able to field routine ground balls, take the extra bag and move runners along. Charles Evans threw strikes and kept the ball in the zone. I was proud of our guys Friday.”
Meanwhile, Bowie’s Barrett Brooks doubled once and scored twice, and Kevin Stallcup earned the win coming in relief of starter Lawson Mickler – who struggled during the top of the fifth.
“Kevin was huge for us, at a big part of the game,” Rogers said. “He came in with no outs, and held Nocona’s rally to one run. He saved the game for us, and they didn’t touch him. That allowed our offense to take the lead right back.” Read more, and see box scores and complete district standings, in the April 6 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.
