AREA FOOTBALL: Moore scores game-winning TD for ’Horns
Forestburg needed its high-octane offense to defeat Denton Calvary on the road this past Friday by a score of 80-75.
Overall, the Longhorns accumulated 629 yards, including 361 yards rushing. Forestburg had a 19-15 edge in first downs and a convincing 268-12 margin in passing yards.
The game ebbed and flowed throughout. Forestburg, at one point, had a 44-30 lead in the second quarter only to see Denton Calvary take a one-point lead at intermission.
In the second half, Denton Calvary was up as many as nine points, 61-52, while the Longhorns reclaimed the lead at 74-67.
Denton Calvary went ahead 75-74 with 1:52 left on Casey Skaggs’ two-yard touchdown pass to Keishun Cuchens, before Malaci Moore sealed the win for the Longhorns with a six-yard TD run with 11 seconds to go on a dive play.
Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell remembered being involved in a similar game while coaching at Vernon Northside as Northside defeated Amarillo Bible Heritage 104-96 one season.
“It was a crazy game, that’s for sure,” Tuckwell said. Read more on how Forestburg and Saint Jo did last Friday by reading The Bowie News in print and online.
Nocona, Gold-Burg were idle

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
