HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: In Nocona finale, Eagles defeat Indians
The Nocona High School baseball team wrapped up its season Monday with an 8-2 loss on the road at Holliday.
Nocona dropped to 8-13, and finished 4-10 in District 3A-9. The Indians finished seventh in this eight-team district, with single wins over Jacksboro and Henrietta and two wins over City View.
Kameron Hill smacked a pair of hits and scored both Indians’ runs. Zach Trentham walked and scored. Jaxon Phipps and Ryder Nobile both slugged doubles. Daniel Keck provided a pair of RBIs on a grounder and fly out.
In his final game wearing Nocona’s orange-and-black, Phipps yielded eight earned runs on 11 hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
He threw strikes 63.1 percent of the time, but gave up home runs to Holliday’s Bailey Broyles and Chase Duncan.
Nocona opened up the scoring with a run in the first inning, then Holliday responded by scoring twice in the bottom of the first and second. Read more, and see the complete box score, 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.
