Nocona High School head football coach and athletic director Brad Keck was an assistant coach at Springtown under Bill Reed.
Now, Reed’s son Bryce Reed has joined the Nocona football coaching staff as offensive coordinator.
“Brad worked with my dad, and I have a lot of respect for him,” said Reed, who also likes Nocona’s Coaches Outreach program, a Bible study on Sunday evenings.
Reed most recently served as the offensive coordinator at Hillsboro, which just went through a turbulent season.
Reed was starting quarterback for three years at Springtown during the 1990s, reaching the state semifinal once before falling to Commerce.
“My father was the winningest coach in Springtown history, and he also was the athletic director,” Reed said.
Reed earned his bachelor’s degree from Tarleton State in Stephenville, after playing one year of college football and baseball at East Central Oklahoma in Ada.
In addition to his football coaching responsibilities, Reed has been named the head boys’ track and field and powerlifting coach and special education teacher at Nocona Middle School.

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.
