Nocona’s Stone advances to regional golf tournament
The Nocona golf team competed at the district tournament on two different days last week.
In the end, the Indians are sending one player, Johnny Stone, on to regionals as he finished fifth overall individually and the second best among players who were not on teams that were regional qualifiers.
Stone led Nocona by shooting 86-77 as the Indians shot 689 and finished seven shot behind Seymour, missing out on qualifying for regionals as a team with a third place finish.
“I am very proud of Johnny and how much work he has put in to advance,” Coach Kyle Spitzer said. “He plays a lot of golf, so I was happy he was able to put together two solid rounds.”
Jake Pribble shot 86-87 and Landon Fatheree shot 82-92.
Caden Gaston shot 91 the first day to get the team’s first day total. He shot 107 the second day as Caden Belcher improved his first day’s total of 94 and shot 88 to add to the second day’s total.
The Nocona boy’s second team finished in sixth place with an 804 total.
Charlie Fuller shot best both days for the team, shooting 95-87. Cooper Waldrip was second shooting 102-98, Brady McCasland was third as he shot 110-98 and Caden Hammer was fourth shooting 115-99. Peyton Reed shot 123-137, but his scores were not added to the team’s total.
The Lady Indians had two players compete as medalists. Jessie Howard shot 105/106 and finished third behind two girls from Olney who qualified for regionals. Alexa Sosa shot 144-139 and finished fifth among medalists.
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.
