The Nocona High School volleyball team had a chance to win during Homecoming weekend, and end a recent losing skid.
The Lady Indians won the first set 25-22; however, Henrietta topped Nocona in four sets by scores of 22-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-20.
Nocona dropped to 15-20 overall, and 3-6 in District 3A-8. Meanwhile, the Lady Cats returned the favor from earlier this season and beat the Lady Indians on their own home court.
“We were aggressive and kept the ball in play (in the first set),” said Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay.
But, Henrietta took control of the match in the second set, won a tight third set and then coasted in the fourth game for the win.
“Their block came around, so we had a hard time putting the ball down,” Clay said. “That gave them second and third attempts. They just capitalized on our mistakes.”
It spoiled a super performance from Payton Ferguson, who served up two aces and has season-highs with 21 kills and 36 digs.
All-state libero Magye Fenoglio served four aces to go with 18 digs. Angel Rhudy was also in double-digit digs with 16, Trystin Fenoglio 15 and Patricia Espinoza 10. Read more in the Oct. 12 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.
