LOCAL SPORTS: Nighthawks fall to Danger
The Nebraska Danger scored 30 second-half points en route to a 36-26 victory over the Wichita Falls Nighthawks in the team’s Indoor Football League home opener at Kay Yeager Coliseum.
The Nighthawks were up 20-14 heading into the fourth quarter, but couldn’t hold on as they committed four turnovers during the game’s final 28 minutes.
Wichita Falls dropped to 0-3. The Nighthawks won’t play again until a March 28 date against the Tri-Cities Fever.
The Nighthawks actually had leads of 13-0 and 20-6 in the game as Marcus Jackson scored on a TD run and he threw a pair of scoring strikes to DeMarkus Washington.
A Jerome McGee Jr. 5-yard reception with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter only prettied up the scoreboard.
Nebraska outgained Wichita Falls 288-154, and the Nighthawks committed five turnovers (three Jackson interceptions and a pair of fumbles lost). The Danger also had a 34:15-25:45 edge in time of possession and converted on 4-of-8 fourth downs. 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.
