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

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.

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.
