The Nocona High School girls’ basketball team had a chance to win in the closing seconds of a District 3A-9 game.
Henrietta was called for an illegal screen on an inbounds play, giving Nocona the ball with less than five seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Makenzie Franklin attempted a shot off a stack inbound play. Sherese Price then grabbed the rebound, and had a clean look at the basket.
Price’s attempt bounced off the glass once, then onto the rim once, before falling off. A mad scramble for the ball ensued just as the game-ending buzzer sounded.
Nocona’s girls showed they could compete with one of the better teams in 3A-9; however, the Lady Indians still fell short by one point 53-52.
“We were two very well-matched teams, and the (outcome of the) game could have gone either way,” Nocona head coach Heather Nobile said.

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.
