The entire Nocona High School girls’ golf team and Bowie’s Chloe Polk will still be playing competitive golf in a couple of weeks.
The Nocona group of Josie Chism, Makenzie Breeze, Chloey Hamilton, Angel Rhudy and Kalyn Crow finished second to Jacksboro and Polk was seventh among individuals as the District 3A-9 tournament wrapped up at River Creek Golf Club in Burkburnett on Thursday.
River Creek plays as a 5,029-yard, par-71 for the girls and 5,713 yards for the boys. The teams competed at Runaway Bay on Tuesday during the first round.
The Conference 3A regional tournament is set for April 13-14 at Oak Hurst and Peach Tree Golf Courses in Bullard, which is between Tyler and Jacksonville in east Texas.
“The girls have worked hard in practice to improve every day,” Nocona head golf coach Bradley McGann said.
Chism finished with one of the top-seven scores, putting together a two-day composite of 214, two strokes ahead of Polk.
McGann said Chism played well because she managed both the course and her emotions well throughout the round.
Polk narrowly missed qualifying for the regional tournament last season, but wasn’t going to be denied here. Read more, and see all scores, in the Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

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.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
