Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians finished their season with disappointing losses to Alvord on Saturday and then against Lindsay on Monday in a three-team play-in scenario.
Nocona lost both games by the score 11-6 though the team showed some good things in both.
Against the Lady Bulldogs on Saturday, Nocona fell behind 9-1 after four innings.
The Lady Indians then had a good fifth inning, scoring four runs to cut the lead to 9-5.
Unfortunately it did not spark a late game turnaround. Alvord scored two runs in the sixth inning and Nocona scored one in the final inning to make the final 11-6.
Evelyn Marquez led the team with three RBIs. Tobie Cable had a team leading three hits and was second with two RBIs while hitting a home run and a double. Avery Crutsinger drove in the other run.
It was not enough firepower to keep up with the 19 hits the Lady Bulldogs got in the game despite Nocona only committing one fielding error.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers lost another tough game to Lindsay on Saturday to end their regular season.
The 2A Lady Knights won 23-6 after five innings against the young the Lady Panthers.
Saint Jo scored three runs the first inning with Taylor Patrick driving in two with a double and Kayden Skidmore driving her in with a fielder’s choice groundout.
In the third inning, Skidmore successfully laid down a bunt for a single that drove in one more run. In the fifth inning, Kailynn Faber hit a groundball and an error allowed two more runs to score.
Unfortunately, Lindsay was scoring runs during all of those times as well in much bigger volume as Saint Jo did not have a good day fielding the ball with 10 errors while allowing 15 hits.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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.
