BOYS SOCCER
Legacy 4, Memorial 2, final
Legacy's Chris Rios scored on two free kicks from essentially the same spot on the field, and the Leopards rode a 4-1 halftime lead to win the first every boys soccer Crosstown Showdown!
GIRLS SOCCER
Legacy 0, Memorial 0
(Legacy wins PKs 2-1)
Legacy goalkeeper Kayden Grimes had a fantastic game. In the clip below, she makes a great save on a breakaway chance. She saved two PKs and made one for Legacy.
With this free throw, Nocona's Megyn Meekins joined rare company, reaching 3,000 career points!
She's only the fifth girls basketball player from the Wichita Falls area to achieve this feat. The other four were Windthorst's Tatum Veitenheimer, Bowie's Rene Hanebutt, Nocona's Averee Kleinhans and Holliday's Jalynn Bristow.
Nocona 45, Hico 26, end 3Q
Nocona is 8 minutes from heading to the 3rd round of the playoffs.
Nocona 36, Hico 15, half
Bad news for Hico.... Megyn Meekins caught fire in the 2Q. She had 15 points in the quarter, and an elite milestone is within reach in the second half.
Nocona 11, Hico 8, end 1Q
Nocona scored the first 11 points of the game, but Hico stormed back, including this 3-pointer by Kinsey Schroeder right before the buzzer.
Seymour 50, Cisco 49, final
Addison Castilleja for 3! Splash! That shot with about 6 seconds left proved to be the game-winner, and No. 20 Seymour upsets No. 6 Cisco is the opening round of the playoffs!
City View 49, Eastland 47, final
The Lady Mustangs survive! And it was this close to being an Eastland win. City View advances to the area round!
Early 42, Vernon 37, final
Early makes enough shots late to pull out the win. Fine season by Vernon.
Early 41, Vernon 37, 2:26 4Q
Early was up 39-32, but Vernon has come back strong. Had cut it to two points.
Vernon 24, Early 23, half
Great first half of bi-district girls basketball action. Early had a 22-17 lead late in the 2Q, but Vernon fought back and got within 1 on this Mijah Johnson bucket. Two FTs by Key'Maria McBride gave Vernon the lead with 4 seconds left in the half.
Bellevue was down 52-41 against Saint Jo with 4:50 left in the game. The Eagles chipped away at the lead until it was 56-55 with 6 seconds remaining.
Watch as Aaron Allison misses a go-ahead layup only to get a second chance with less than 2 seconds to play. Allison knocks down a 3-pointer to win the game. (Actually a long 2, but refs counted as a 3, but it doesn't matter. It would have been a game-winner either way.)
The win keeps Bellevue in position for the fourth and final playoff spot in District 18-A.
