HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Nocona blasts City View
Zach Trentham had a career game with five runs scored, a double and a triple as the Nocona High School baseball team walloped City View 21-4 in District 3A-9 action on Tuesday.
City View and Nocona were actually tied at 2-all after three innings, but the Indians then began piling on the runs with four in the fourth inning, six in the fifth and a whopping nine in the sixth.
Nocona won the game in six innings on account of the mercy rule.
It marked the second straight victory for Nocona, improving to 8-10 overall and 4-7 in 3A-9. The Indians played host to Paradise on Friday evening before visiting Bowie next Tuesday.
Jaxon Phipps, Robert Hawkins and Trentham all scattered three hits and produced three RBIs in this laugher.
Nocona could have scored even more if not for 13 runners left on base.
Jeremy James earned the win, pitching four innings. James allowed four earned runs on four hits while walking striking out five and walking three. He also had five hit batsmen.

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.
