Baseball
The Nocona Indians lost a disappointing game against Henrietta on Monday.
The Bearcats won 16-2 in a close game that got out of hand in the final inning.
Henrietta struck first with three runs in the first inning. The Indians cut the lead to 3-2 in the third inning with an RBI single from Ty Presley and a balk that scored Luke Fuller.
Henrietta added one run in the fifth and two in the sixth inning to make the lead 6-2 heading into the final inning.
From there the Bearcats got on a roll and scored 10 runs an inning where everything that could go wrong for Nocona did.
Down 16-2, the Indians failed to cut the lead any further despite getting two base runners on.

The Nocona Lady Indians lost a tough game to Henrietta at home on Monday.
The Lady Cats won 16-0 through five innings due to run-rule.
Nocona was only able to get one hit during the game from Skye Kirby. The only other base runners came from the five walks drawn from the Lady Indians.
Henrietta’s bats never quieted as it had 19 hits. That combined with the six fielding errors from Nocona allowed all of the runs.

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.
