Nocona teams play at City View
The Nocona basketball teams traveled to City View on Tuesday and had drastically different experiences.
While the girls won a high scoring game easily 77-43 against a team they had beaten before, the boys lost a close game 48-43 against a team that is emerging as a possible playoff team.
The Lady Indians got up early, exploding to a 27-9 lead. Despite that, Coach Kyle Spitzer was not happy with some of the things he was seeing on defense.
“Our defense was sloppy in the first quarter,” Spitzer said. “We kind of got it fixed in the second quarter.”
Despite that, the Lady Mustangs were able to make a couple shots, knock down their free throws and score relatively well despite trailing big for all of the game.
They could not keep up with the scoring pace from Nocona. While the Lady Indians could not equal their first quarter barrage, they did not have a down quarter offensively for the rest of the game as City View had no answer defensively as Nocona won 77-43.
Averee Kleinhans had another game where her total, 38 points, was almost equal to or better than the other team’s output. Trystin Fenoglio was second with 15 points while Laramie Hayes joined them in double digits with 11 points.
The boy’s game was much more competitive. Both teams came out swinging in a relatively high scoring first quarter as the teams were tied 15-15 heading into the second quarter.
The Indians offense faltered a bit the next two quarters as they could only equal their first quarter total. Luckily, their defense kept them in the game as they trailed only 32-30 heading into the fourth quarter.
Both teams picked up the pace a bit as Nocona was able to knock in three three-pointers as they almost equaled their first quarter total. Unfortunately, the Mustangs played with the lead and were able to knock in eight of their nine free throws in the quarter as they held on to win 48-43.
Carter Horn led the Indians with 12 points, all scored in the second half. Jason Sparkman was second with 10 points.
Nocona is still looking for its first district win in a district that is looking much more competitive than what was initially believed.
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.
