Holliday 4, Nocona 3
The Nocona softball team played better in its second District 3A-9 game on Friday, but the Lady Indians still suffered a 4-3 setback at Holliday.
Nocona stood at 3-8 overall, 0-2 in district, heading into Tuesday’s 3A-9 game versus Henrietta.
Holliday went ahead for good in the fifth inning.
Nocona’s Karlie Pepper singled to center in the sixth, but she was left stranded. Kady Hackley was left at second and Claire Walker at first in the seventh, so the Indians had their chances. Read more, and see complete box scores, 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.
