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.

Lent has just ended and if you observed it in any way, strictly or somewhere in the middle, you probably felt it. That slow shift in how you cook, what you reach for, and how often you stand in the kitchen wondering what else there is besides peanut butter and pimento cheese. But there is something about going through a season like that that resets your perspective.
You come out the other side appreciating things you did not think twice about before, and sometimes you discover a few new ones along the way.
As a kid, the frozen seafood we ate came in a rectangular box and answered to the name fish sticks.
They were breaded within an inch of their life, cooked until vaguely crisp, and served with enough ketchup to make you forget what you were eating.
They were not great. They were fine, which for a long time was about the best you could say for most frozen fish. And that stuck with me.
