Lady Indians struggle in final tournament
The Nocona Lady Indians softball team competed in its final tournament last week in Lindsay.
The Lady Indians had a tough time in terms of results as they went 0-4 against some tough schools.
Nocona started off with tournament hosts Lindsay. It was a short, but competitive game as the tournament stopped the game after only three innings.
The teams traded two runs each in the first inning. Karlee Keck and Taylor Richards drove in runs for the Lady Indians as the score was tied 2-2.
In the second inning Nocona scored on a passed ball, a steal home and a Laci Stone RBI to go up 5-2. The Lady Knights fired back scoring four runs to go up 6-5. The Lady Indians could not answer in the third inning before the game was called to an end.
Nocona next played Borger on Friday. The Lady Indians started the game well with Gisel Hernandez scoring on a bunt from Koryahanna Ramsey in the first inning. The Lady Bulldogs answered in the first inning as the score was tied 1-1.
Nocona struggled to score for the rest of the game despite getting some hits. Borger scored 10 runs in the next three innings to win the game 11-1 as the Lady Indians struggled with errors.
Nocona had to turn around and play Pottsboro after that where some of the previous game might have rubbed. The Lady Cardinals scored 10 runs in the first inning and the Lady Indians could not recover.
Nocona did scored two runs in the fourth inning with Richards driving in two runs on a single. Pottsboro scored one run to go back up by 10 to end the game right there as they won 12-2.
The Lady Indians ended the tournament on Saturday with a game against Era. Again Nocona was hit hard early in the first inning as the Lady Hornets scored five runs.
The Lady Indians answered with a run of their own in the first inning when Kycelynn Contreras drove in a run with single.
The score stayed 5-1 entering the third inning where Era put another five run inning together to go up 10-1. Nocona scored two more runs with an RBI from Karlee Keck and Ramsey scoring on an error, but it was not enough as the game was called after that inning, the Lady Hornets winning 10-3.

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.
