Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians traveled to Sanger on Friday night.
It was a slow start, but Nocona beat Sanger in four sets.
The Lady Indians lost the first set 25-20, but would come back to win the next three sets with close scores of 30-28, 25-23 and 25-20.
Coach Tanya Samples was glad her team got the win, but laments that a lot of the damage was the frustrating self inflicted type.
Nocona next plays a tough dual at home on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. against Glen Rose and Brock.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears played in their first five set match on Friday against Quanah at home.
The Lady Bears came out on the wrong side, losing a game that got away from them.
Gold-Burg won the first two sets 25-17 and 25-23. Unfortunately, the Lady Indians picked up some momentum.
After winning the third set 25-20, Quanah was just able to edge out the Lady Bears in the fourth set with extra points 31-29. After that, the Lady Indians grabbed control in the fifth set, winning the 15-8.
There is a lot for Gold-Burg to learn from a tough loss like this. The Lady Bears next play at Perrin-Whitt at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 28.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
