After four senior volleyball players were honored for their years of service to the team, Bowie made it a special day with a straight-set defeat of City View 25-6, 25-15, 25-22.
The team’s record improved to 20-19, with a 5-8 record in 9-3A.
“We played well,” said head coach Jeanie Stark. “We played with a different dynamic because we wanted the seniors to get some playing time. They did a good job, stepping up and making plays.”
The Lady Rabbits dominated the first set.
But after storming out to a 7-1 lead in the second, City View began playing better.
Bowie won the third set by only three points.
“City View has some good athletes,” Stark said. “They have some players who can hit the ball well.”
Before the match, Madeline Page, Brooke Reaves, Stephanie Clement, Cassie Caswell and manager Shanna Wadsworth were recognized during Senior Day ceremonies.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
