HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Nobile gets chance at QB in loss

This certainly wasn’t how Nocona senior quarterback Kyle Sentell envisioned his Senior Night panning out.
Sentell, who was honored before the game with teammates Daniel Keck, Matt Womack and Ryder Nobile on Senior Night, suffered an injury during Friday’s game against District 2-3A-II front-runner Eastland.
During a season in which the young Indians have learned “on the fly,” the team had to make even more adjustments with Nobile at quarterback.
In the end, Eastland’s fast-paced spread offense and speedy defense proved too much for Nocona as the Mavericks downed the Indians 45-6 at Jack Crain Stadium in Nocona.
“Ryder hadn’t taken any snaps at quarterback all year,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said.
Nocona has one more chance to earn a win during the 2014 season – on the road Nov. 7 at Jacksboro. The team stands 0-9, 0-6 in District 2-3A-II. Meanwhile, Eastland takes on Cisco at the same time for the district championship. Read more in the mid-week 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.
