The entire Nocona High School girls’ golf team and Bowie’s Chloe Polk will still be playing competitive golf in a couple of weeks.
The Nocona group of Josie Chism, Makenzie Breeze, Chloey Hamilton, Angel Rhudy and Kalyn Crow finished second to Jacksboro and Polk was seventh among individuals as the District 3A-9 tournament wrapped up at River Creek Golf Club in Burkburnett on Thursday.
River Creek plays as a 5,029-yard, par-71 for the girls and 5,713 yards for the boys. The teams competed at Runaway Bay on Tuesday during the first round.
The Conference 3A regional tournament is set for April 13-14 at Oak Hurst and Peach Tree Golf Courses in Bullard, which is between Tyler and Jacksonville in east Texas.
“The girls have worked hard in practice to improve every day,” Nocona head golf coach Bradley McGann said.
Chism finished with one of the top-seven scores, putting together a two-day composite of 214, two strokes ahead of Polk.
McGann said Chism played well because she managed both the course and her emotions well throughout the round.
Polk narrowly missed qualifying for the regional tournament last season, but wasn’t going to be denied here. Read more, and see all scores, in the Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

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.
