HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Nazarene stops Forestburg
Forestburg played yet another competitive game against Crowley Nazarene Christian this year; however, the Longhorns came up short again.
“It was two physical football teams, and the game went back and forth,” Forestburg assistant coach and superintendent John Metzler said. Metzler subbed for head coach Wayne Tuckwell.
“We made more errors than them in the game,” Metzler added.
This week, Forestburg will prepare for a Savoy team that defeated Saint Jo at Harley Sewell Field this past Friday.
Savoy will use an odd-man front with a nose guard at the point of attack on defense. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will use both spread and tight formations on offense.
Metzler hopes Homecoming this week won’t be a distraction, especially with several freshmen on the squad.
Metzler reported Tuckwell will make every effort possible to be back and coach the Longhorns in this 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.
