INDOOR FOOTBALL: Green Bay rallies past WF
The Wichita Falls Nighthawks suffered a fourth-quarter meltdown during Saturday’s 41-31 loss to the Green Bay Blizzard at Kay Yeager Coliseum.
The loss dropped Wichita Falls to 5-7 on the season. This marked the second time in consecutive weeks Green Bay rallied to beat the Nighthawks.
Wichita Falls had a 25-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter; however, Green Bay scored two touchdowns during the first six minutes of the final frame.
The Blizzard defense then added two more scores on fumble returns.
Jimmy Pipkin returned a kickoff 46 yards for a TD with 3 minutes, 6 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough.
Wichita Falls had one more offensive possession with 0:47 left, but Green Bay’s Kenneth Ridley picked off Nighthawks quarterback Marcus Jackson’s pass moments later. The next home game is at 7 p.m. on June 13 against Colorado. Read more, including a piece on the Nighthawks returning for the 2016 season, in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
