There was nothing deliberate about the Nocona High School boys’ basketball team’s District 3A-9 victory over Bowie.
Kameron Hill, and the Indians, controlled the pace – especially late during the second quarter – as Nocona downed Bowie 65-56 on Friday evening.
Nocona spoiled what was a night of celebration for Bowie, which honored the 1974 Jackrabbit state championship squad – complete with quilt auction and ceremony.
The Indians improved to 14-7 while Bowie dropped to 11-10, and out of Conference 3A state polling.
Hill finished with a game-high 31 points, and he added three assists and three steals. Overall, Kameron made good on 10-of-13 field goals and all six of his free-throw attempts. He canned five of Nocona’s nine 3-pointers. Read more in The 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.
