HIGH SCHOOLS: Boyd smothers Nocona baseball, softball
The Nocona High School baseball and softball teams found themselves on the business end of District 3A-9 games against Boyd Tuesday.
The baseball team scored two runs in the top of the seventh to pretty up the scoreboard in a 10-3 loss to Boyd.
The softball squad was only down 2-1 after three innings, but then state-ranked Boyd plated four runs in the fourth and five more in the fifth to bring about the run rule.
The Nocona baseball team dropped to 6-10 overall, 2-7 in district play. Softball stands at 4-16, 1-10 in 3A-9. The Indians and Lady Indians played at home on Friday against Jacksboro.

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.
