HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Nocona blasts City View
Zach Trentham had a career game with five runs scored, a double and a triple as the Nocona High School baseball team walloped City View 21-4 in District 3A-9 action on Tuesday.
City View and Nocona were actually tied at 2-all after three innings, but the Indians then began piling on the runs with four in the fourth inning, six in the fifth and a whopping nine in the sixth.
Nocona won the game in six innings on account of the mercy rule.
It marked the second straight victory for Nocona, improving to 8-10 overall and 4-7 in 3A-9. The Indians played host to Paradise on Friday evening before visiting Bowie next Tuesday.
Jaxon Phipps, Robert Hawkins and Trentham all scattered three hits and produced three RBIs in this laugher.
Nocona could have scored even more if not for 13 runners left on base.
Jeremy James earned the win, pitching four innings. James allowed four earned runs on four hits while walking striking out five and walking three. He also had five hit batsmen.

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.
