Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won their first game of the season on Tuesday at Alvord.
The Lady Indians won 66-51 against the Lady Bulldogs.
Nocona has had a late start to its season thanks to the district shutting down in person learning the previous week, but the experienced team played well enough in the first game.
It was a tight first half with the Lady Indians only leading 28-26 at halftime. After that the offense executed better and Alvord could not keep up.
Averee Kleinhans led the team with 31 points despite not scoring any points in the first quarter.
Post player Karlee Brown joined her in double-digits with 13 points.
The team totaled eight 3-pointers during the game
Nocona’s next scheduled game is at 2:30 p.m. at Melissa on Nov. 21.
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs won their opening game of the season on Tuesday at home against Chillicothe.
The Lady Bulldogs took a one-sided game 42-21 despite the Lady Eagles already having a few games under their belt.
Hailey Winkler led the team with 16 points, nine rebounds and six steals. Carmen Gomez scored eight points and had four assists. Molly Gilleland also chipped in eight points.
Prairie Valley’s next scheduled game is scheduled for noon on Nov. 24 at home against Vernon Northside.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won their first game of the season on Tuesday at home against Savoy.
The Lady Panthers won by double-digits with the score 31-19.
New head coach Daniel Lindenborn was pleased to win the first game of the season, but sees a lot to improve.
“As a coaching staff, we felt the girls did well,” Lindenborn said. “Learning a new system under a different coaching staff is no easy task. We had moments where the girls ran the offense and defense very well. Everyone agrees there are many areas we can improve in. Overall, we are excited to keep moving forward and hopefully continue to improve each week.”
Saint Jo is next scheduled to play at Notre Dame at 6 p.m. on Nov. 23.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

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 8th 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 2nd 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.
