FOOTBALL: Nocona’s offense struggles in loss

The Nocona High School football team struggled on offense in its home opener, and eventually Ponder walked away with a 27-3 win at Jack Crain Stadium on Friday.
The Indians are winless heading into their bye week this week.
“This will help us,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said. “We’ve got to keep working on the basics, blocking and tackling.”
Nocona has two weeks to prepare for a Henrietta team coming off a 37-9 triumph over Bowie.
Keck said the Indians have decided to change defenses for the remainder of the season, going with a four-man front.
“I think this puts us in a little better position with the personnel we have,” he said. “We’re going to do this for the long term, and we’re excited for the possibilities with it.”
Keck said Henrietta will have the size advantage along the offensive line. The Bearcats will run a spread offense, with zone reads. Defensively, Henrietta likes to use a four-man front, and stunt off it. The Nocona offensive line must pick up blitzes quickly.
