Indians go 0-2 at tournament; softball loses to Breckenridge
The Nocona Indians went 0-2 at the Walker Stallcup tournament last week.
The Indians lost to teams from S&S Consolidated and Bowie’s JV team.
Nocona first played S&S Conoslidated and lost 13-7. Eight fielding errors contributed to the amount of runs given up by the Indians. Only seven of the runs give up by pitchers Miguel Olivares and Wesley Murphey were earned.
Nino Rodriguez led the team with three RBIs on a bases clearing double. Matthew Page drove in two runs also on a double.
The game against Bowie’s JV team went wrong in the first inning. The Jackrabbits reeled off 10 runs in the opening inning and won 12-2 after three and half innings played.
Again it was the six fielding errors that that led to most of the runs. None of the 12 runs from Bowie were earned due to the errors.
Ty Presley and Oliveras got the hits for Nocona that eventually led to the two runs.
Softball
The Nocona Lady Indians lost a tough game against Breckenridge on Friday night.
The Lady Bucks won 17-1 in five innings against the Lady Indians.
Breckenridge scored five runs in each of the first two innings. Nocona did score in the fourth inning as Skye Kirby drove in Reagan Phipps to cut the lead to 10-1.
The Lady Bucks would then go on to score seven runs in the fifth inning make the score 17-1. Nocona had no answer offensively and game ended early due to run-rule.
The Lady Indians did a better job on defense with little fielding errors. Unfortunately, Breckenridge had 22 hits in the 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.
