The Nocona High School softball team earned its first District 3A-9 victory of the season on Tuesday in Jacksboro.
The Lady Indians and the Tigerettes played a close, high-scoring game up until the fifth inning.
The two teams combined for 28 hits, however Nocona’s bats were hotter as they tallied 16 of them en route to a 16-8 win.
“We’ve been working a lot on offense,” said Lady Indian coach Jon Shaw. “They cashed in when they were supposed to.”
RBI singles by Katelynn Walker and Sherese Price opened scoring in the top of the first, however a two- run error in the bottom half tied the game at two runs apiece.

Kameron Hill put the Indians on the board first as he reached home on a wild pitch. However, after adding another run in the third, the Tigers scored two in the same inning followed by three in the fourth.
Nocona rallied in the fifth as Robert Hawkins and Gavin Johnson on an error brought the game to within two. Hill recorded an RBI hit batsmen in the sixth as the Indians loaded the bases. But, Jacksboro didn’t allow Nocona any more runs after that. Read the weekend Bowie News for more, including complete box scores.

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.
