RODEO: Nocona Bullfest set for May 16
The 11th annual Nocona Bullfest is set for 7:30 p.m. on May 16 at Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena.
This year’s bull riders, who came from across the country, will be matched up against bulls provided by Johnny Locke’s Bucking Bulls’ stock company.
The event will begin with mutton bustin’ for boys and girls six years old and under, with check-in set for 7 p.m.
The American flag will be presented on horseback, followed by prayer and the singing of the national anthem, in a patriotic display of Western heritage.
Plenty of things are scheduled on the docket.
In addition to bull riding, there will be a children’s calf scramble, a women’s steer scramble with a cash prize given, and a donkey race.
There will be a dance at the Nocona VFW Hall after the conclusion of the rodeo. The dance is free with paid admission to Bullfest.
Concession stand proceeds will benefit the Nocona Rotary Club, which supports community projects and provides college scholarships for local youth.

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.
