Even though Nocona earned the win, Indian second-year head coach Brent Lewis expressed some displeasure with the team’s performance in this competitive game.
“We didn’t hit the ball very well,” he said. “But they battled, got some key hits and came out on top.”
Both teams were in a scoreless gridlock until the fourth inning, as City View opened scoring with a pair of runs.
The Indians responded with RBI doubles by Zach Trentham and Kameron Hill in the bottom of fourth en route to a 4-2 lead.
Trentham grounded out to first base in the fifth inning to score Jaxon Phipps, making the score 5-2. City View was shut out the final two innings for the win.
Jeremy James was credited with the win. In seven innings pitched, James allowed two runs on three hits while walking two and striking out three. 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.
