The Henrietta High School volleyball team has one of the taller front lines in District 3A-9, and Nocona had difficulty with that on Tuesday.
In the end, the Lady Bearcats proved too much for the Lady Indians in a three-set victory by scores of 26-24, 25-12 and 25-15.
Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay reported the team missed eight serves and five dropped balls. The Lady Indians also committed 15 hitting errors.
With the loss, Nocona’s record evened at 15-15, 4-2 in 3A-9. The Lady Indians are now in a tie for second in the district with Paradise.
Henrietta defeated fellow front-runner Boyd on Sept. 27, so clearly the Bearcats have emerged as the best team in 3A-9 so far. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
