Lady Indians win Peaster tournament
The Nocona Lady Indians have another overall tournament win and are still undefeated after playing in its final tournament at Peaster last weekend.
Nocona went 4-0 with three of the games being won by two points or less.
First up was Spearman. It was a back and forth game that went down to the wire as it eventually went into overtime.
In a low scoring overtime, Trystin Fenoglio scored the only basket from either team as the Lady Indians won 48-46. Outside of Fenoglio’s eight points, Averee Kleinhans led the team with 28 points.
The next day Nocona played Graham. A slow first quarter put the Lady Indians in catch up mode, but an okay second saw Nocona trail only 26-21 at halftime.
A good third quarter from the Lady Indians made it a one point game and Nocona was able to do just enough to steal the win from the Lady Blues 44-43.
Brooke O’Neal led the Lady Indians with 15 points on five 3-pointers with Kleinhans chipping in 10 points.
Following two close wins Nocona let out some steam on its next opponent. Lindsay did not stand a chance as the Lady Indians took a 19-6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. By the end Nocona won 64-35. Kleinhans led the team with 30 points while Chloe Daughtry and Brooke O’Neal each scored nine points.
The win put the Lady Indians in the tournament championship game against Decatur. It was slow to get going as each team struggled to score in the first quarter.
That went away in the second and third quarters as neither team could get much separation with the score tied at 35-35 heading into the fourth quarter.
The last quarter was a slow it down drawn out fest. Thanks to Daughtry’s three-pointer and Fenoglio’s two made free throws, that was enough to give Nocona the slight edge it needed to win the game 40-39 and the overall tournament.
Kleinhans led the team with 20 points and Fenoglio was second with nine points. Those two along with O’Neal were named to the all-tournament team. Kleinhans also was named the most valuable player at the tournament as she averaged 22 points a game.

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.
