Nocona Indians are undefeated to start the season

NOCONA, Texas (KAUZ) - The Nocona Indians are 4-0 to start the season.

This has been the best start to their year since the 2023 season, when they finished 8-2.

It is still early in the season, but this is already a complete turnaround from the Indians’ 2-8 record last year.

Nocona’s head coach Jeff Hill says the key has been the physicality the team has been working on since last year.

“Our kids spent all last year lifting, running, and trying to get faster and trying to get bigger and stronger and building that confidence in themselves,” said Hill. “They’re just pinning their ears back and going and playing hard. They know what to do, how to do it, and they’re trying to do it with the best effort they possibly can.”

Nocona has not only beaten their first four opponents, but all of the games have also been blowouts by more than 20 points. It’s been a major credit to the offense and explosiveness of the players.

They expressed how they tried to turn things around while staying focused on the next challenge ahead.

“It’s been fun for sure; it definitely hasn’t been easy, though, going from 2-8 last year to going 4-0 this year, but I mean we had to trust in our coaches, trust in each other and trust in the fact that we’re gonna get back in the right spot,” said Indians’ quarterback, Brody Langford.

Next, the Indians are heading over to Era on Friday night to face the Hornets.
