Nocona
The Nocona Indians had a rough tournament at Seymour last week.
The Indians went 0-3 as the team tried several different things to get ready for the start of district play this week.
Nocona lost to Ralls 9-3, Seymour 10-1 and Perrin-Whitt 14-1.
Coach Zach Denson thought some good things came out of it despite the results.
“We struggled to find consistency on the mound and at the plate, and ultimately dropped all three games,” Denson said. “However, there were many bright spots. Multiple kids gained valuable experience on the mound, and the kids never quit in the face of adversity.”
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers played in their first tournament of the season at Era last week.
The Panthers went 1-3 as they try to transition most of their players to a different sport season.
Saint Jo lost to S&S Consoladidated 7-3, Poolville 9-2 and Sacred Heart 4-3 before pulling out a fun 11-2 win against Tioga in the final game.
Kile Thurman and Matthew Everson-Butler drove in two runs each to lead the team in their win against Tioga. Payton Harris allowed one earned up in 2.1 innings pitched while striking out two batters.

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.
