HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Nocona girls grab bronze
The Nocona High School girls’ basketball team wrapped up the 29th Annual North Central Texas College Holiday Tournament with a pair of wins on Friday.
The Lady Indians topped Gainesville 52-34, marking the second time this season Nocona beat the Conference 4A school.
Then Nocona defeated Callisburg 53-37 to win the bronze division of the tournament in a game that took place at Lindsay High School.
In the win over Gainesville, Emma Meekins dropped in 25 points, including 4-of-5 from the free-throw line and three 3-pointers. Trystin Fenoglio and Hope Phipps added six points each.
The Lady Indians outscored the Lady Leopards 23-10 during the second and third quarters to pull away.
In the bronze bracket championship, Nocona doubled up Callisburg in the second quarter 16-8 for a 26-15 lead. The Lady Indians added to the margin in the second half.
Trystin Fenoglio was Nocona’s leading scorer with 16, including seven field goals. It marked the first time this season Meekins wasn’t the Lady Indians’ top offensive producer in a game.

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.
