Nocona

The Nocona Lady Indians started their season Tuesday with a dual at Iowa Park that also featured Windthorst.
It was up and down as the Lady Indians won in straight sets against the Lady Trojans and lost in four sets against the Lady Hawks.
The first match against the host was competitive the first two sets. Iowa Park won by the slimmest of margins 25-23 while Nocona won the second set in extra points 27-25 to tie the match up.
From there, it was all Lady Hawks as they easily took the third set 25-11 and won the fourth set 25-19 to win the match.
The Lady Indians did not have long to dwell on the loss as they played Windthorst shortly after. The first set was back and forth competitive affair. Fortunately, Nocona was able to pull away by the slimmest of margins to win 26-24.
Nocona plays at 5 p.m. on Aug. 18 at Ponder.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers started their season playing Bluff Dale on Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers picked up an easy win in straight sets. None were competitive as Saint Jo won 25-8, 25-10, 25-9.
It was not a match where Coach Charlie Hamilton got to see much of her team sadly. Once the ball crossed the net in any sort of fashion, it usually did not come back over. Evaluating how the team played was tough from that standpoint.
Saint Jo next travels to Gold-Burg to play at 7 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears hosted Savoy on Tuesday to start their season.
The Lady Bears won decisively in straight sets based on the strength of their serving and constant attacks. Each set was won by double-digits 25-9, 25-14, 25-10.
Coach Cheryl Cromleigh loved what she saw as the team played to its strengths and won big because of it.
The team will have a tougher challenge when Gold-Burg hosts Saint Jo at 7 p.m. on Aug. 18.

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.

The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
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.
