All five football-playing county schools concluded their scrimmages last week in preparation for the 2014 Texas high school football season, which begins this Friday.
Nocona
Nocona opens the season on the road against a longtime former district opponent – Alvord.
Alvord will be a familiar team for Nocona, but the team will look different on the sidelines, as defensive coordinator Pete Hart replaces Curtis Enis at the head coach position.
Nocona head coach Brad Keck was quick to mention Alvord’s top player, running back Joe Randall, who rushed for 1,251 yards, and also had 324 passing yards, with 20 total touchdowns.
“He’s one of the best running backs out there in north Texas,” Keck said. “We’ll have to stop him.”
Defensively, the coach said the team will have to account for middle linebacker Troy Morales as well as Randall, who plays free safety. Keck said the Bulldogs run out of a 4-3 defense, and are very aggressive. Read the rest of the story in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.
