The Tioga football team has changed its offense in recent weeks, and it was on full display in Friday night’s game at Joe Corpening Field.
“They have been running more of a ball control offense now,” Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said. “We were very well prepared for them on paper.”
However, Johnson added Tioga was tough to stop because the Bears are currently depleted by injuries and players are in new positions.
In the end, Tioga defeated Gold-Burg 55-8.
Tioga stormed out to a 33-8 lead after one quarter.
The Bears’ only score also came in the first as Kasen Allen scrambled his way from 25 yards out after being unable to find an open receiver. Colt Rainey tacked on the extra two points.
It would be all Gold-Burg can muster however as Tioga piled on 22 more points and induced the mercy rule.
The Bears struggled offensively, outgained 342-73.

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.
