Meekins scores 2,000th point
The Nocona Lady Indians blew out Archer City at home on Friday night to improve to 7-0 in district play.
The Lady Indians won by their usual margin, winning 89-21, with the highlight being an individual career milestone.
Meg Meekins needed to score 11 points entering the game to reach 2,000 career points. She got that early in the second quarter and even scored once more on a quick steal and score on the following inbounds play before Coach Kyle Spitzer could call a time out and inform her of her accomplishment.
“I am very proud of Meg,” Spitzer said. “The amount of work she puts in and how hard she works, she has earned it.”
Nocona started the game slower than usual for its high standard, up 16-6 after the first quarter.
The Lady Indians then turned it on and scored a mind-boggling 41 points in the second quarter to turn the game into another dominant sowing, which all of their district games have been so far.
Nocona added 22 points in the third quarter to not have too much of a letdown before slowing things down in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Indians won 89-21.
Meekins finished with a season high 39 points while collecting eight steals. Reagan Phipps was second with 17 points while Skyler Smith scored 13 points and Aubree Kleinhans scored 10 points. Avery Crutsinger grabbed a team high six rebounds.

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.
