Nocona High School baseball rolled to a 5-0 lead early in Tuesday’s District 3A-9 game, scoring at least one run in three of the first four innings.
But then Holliday scored seven runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead, and eventually defeat Nocona 9-5.
Nocona dropped to 6-8 overall, and 2-5 in District 3A-9.
The first half of the schedule rotation is complete, and Nocona played Henrietta at home on Friday.
In the opening frame, Nocona scored twice. Kameron Hill scored on Ryder Nobile’s run-scoring sacrifice fly. Jaxon Phipps later scored on a Tres Howard walk.
Nocona added two more runs in the third inning as Phipps smacked a home run over the fence in left field and Howard’s RBI single scored Jeremy James. Hill plated Nocona’s fifth run in the bottom of the fourth on a passed ball.

Holliday 17, Nocona 0

Holliday put Nocona away with a whopping eight runs in the top of the fifth inning.
Katelynn Walker was the lone Lady Indian to record a multiple-hit game. Kady Hackley also had a hit for Nocona. Madilynn Cable and Claire Walker drew walks, but that was the sum total of the team’s offense. Read more, and see complete box scores in the weekend Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
