The Nocona High School boys’ basketball team experienced differing offensive outputs in a win and loss at the Windthorst Holiday Classic on Monday.
Nocona opened up tournament play with a convincing 92-53 victory over Alvord, which included an eye-popping 31-point quarter.
Then, in the championship bracket semifinals, Nocona suffered its third loss of the season to Windthorst – this time by a score of 56-48.
Like in the Midwestern State University Classic game on Dec. 20 at Wichita Falls, both Nocona and Windthorst were knotted up with less than two minutes to play.
And, once again, the Trojans got the better of the Indians down the stretch.
Hill was the lone Indian to score in double figures in the loss to Windthorst, putting in 25 points including 6-of-10 from the free-throw line. Jaxon Phipps contributed nine points.
Nocona stands at 7-7 on the season. The Indians played Bellevue in the third-place game on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
