Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians started off district play with a dominant showing at Petrolia on Friday night.
The Lady Indians won 77-10 in a game where Nocona was just clearly the better team in every way.
Nocona comes into the start of district as heavy favorites to win its sixth straight district title. The program last lost a district game back in 2019.
The Lady Indians have played some of the best teams in the state during their non-district schedule since they have a state tournament appearance in their long term sights.
So the prospect of playing a Lady Pirates team that is trying to rebound after losing several key starters and their coach from their playoff team last year, it was a bit one-sided before the game even started.
It lived up to that expectation as Nocona jumped out to a 31-3 lead after the first quarter.
While the Lady Indians offense reined it in a bit for the final three quarters, they never let up defensively. Petrolia scored only three points in the next two quarters combined. Nocona then got a little sloppy and allowed four whole points in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Indians won 77-10 in the end.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Lady Eagles lost a tough game on the road at Slidell on Friday night.
The Lady Greyhounds won 57-33 against the Lady Eagles in a game Bellevue would like to forget.
The Lady Eagles were hoping to give consistent district champion Slidell a challenge, with competitive losses against the two top teams in district that both beat the Lady Greyhounds in Saint Jo and Forestburg.
Unfortunately it was, according to Coach John McGee, one of the worst games the team has played all year long. The team struggled to score while turning the ball over too much.
Cirstin Allen was making shots for Bellevue, making four 3-pointers while scoring a team high 14 points.
Missing scores
The Forestburg game at Gold-Burg was forfeited as the Lady Bears only had four players available to play. The Lady Horns stay undefeated in district play.
With one of Gold-Burg’s players quitting so she can get a part-time job, Coach Cheryl Cromleigh is hopeful she can find another player so her team can continue its season and not forfeit the remainder of its games.
Saint Jo and Prairie Valley coaches did not get back to the Bowie News with score updates from Friday’s games.
