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.

As gardeners we think about flora and fauna, but I would like to suggest one more. And that is fragrance.
Fragrance is one of those memory makers. Memories for the children who grow up with garden fragrance and for spouses celebrating anniversaries. It’s not just the memories of the flowers’ beauty, but also that Mom and Dad grew them and what the time was like.
Today, I had a flashback to that moment in time as I walked out onto my patio. I wasn’t planning an olfactory experience nor did I even think about growing more Supertunia petunias than ever before.

Though I am writing this in April the garden season in Georgia has been a blast and Fresco has been my favorite. You no doubt are pondering what Fresco is?
Well Fresco is a new hydrangea making its debut this year. So, I better get the correct name front and center. It is Fairytrail Fresco Cascade Hydrangea.
So, the fact that The Garden Guy is telling you I have fallen madly in love with a hydrangea that has been blooming in April already starts to stir the imagination.
Proven Winners tells everyone up front that it is early to bloom but Fairytrail Fresco was already blooming when other hydrangeas were deciding if they were going to live through the winter with the repeating vortex.
